Hi Anand,
Please reply to the list in case somebody else wants to chime in.
mpeg2_getpos() returns the total number of bytes (octets) since the start
of the stream. So yes, you will have to take the difference between
hitting one PICTURE header and the next header (probably PICTURE or
SEQUENCE) in order to find the coded length of the picture (in bytes).
There's basically no way to determine the coded length of the picture
until you hit the next header.
Best,
Keith
