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.
cool, got the source code, sorry about the mix up, I must refresh my windows... have some points they are good for you.
Thankyou kindly!
