The media-video/mediainfo package provides this info and more. It can also output the info in XML which might be useful to you if you're building a database of your movie info.

I have always wondered that too. Any way to know for sure the whole movie is there without playing the whole thing? Sometimes the end of mine gets cut off. I think one of the sites I use has a limit and it cuts off the connection even if it is in the middle of the show. The nerve of people. lol Thanks. You helped two people today. ;-) Dale :-) :-)

Hi, All Sorry for the OT, but Gentoo'ers are way above medium linux users. I have a bunch of movie clips and I wanted to build a table of contents including clip duration. Instead of opening one at a time, is there any application that I could user for a script? I though on mplayer, but I could not find a way for it to tell me the duration of a clip. Thanks Francisco -- "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
