verify mpeg file

I'm looking for a software tool that can take a mpeg 1 or 2 file as input, and return true/false if the file is a valid, playable mpeg.
Something I could run from the command-line, or ideally an open source project.

Anything suggestions? Anything in MSDN that does this?

You could check out the source code of bbTOOL from http://members.cox.net/beyeler/bbmpeg.html (direct link: http://home.mindspring.com/~beyeler/bbtool19_src.zip). Especially bbINFO should be able to perform what you want in quite an easy way.

ok, I have a copy now, but no source, the authors site appears to be down, really need the source as program output is not really all that useable.
