So you would accept the patch including the mpeg header parsing if it
only attempted to set the framerate?

If so,  that will fix the jerky playback problem which is the main
thing I'm interested in right now.

Regarding the framesize, I'm happy to leave that for another day but I
though I might as well pick it up when parsing the header. In this
regard I simply copied the demux_lavf behaviour. I did look into using
video_read_frame and I though that a generic solution was possible by
making sure the demuxer always reads a complete video frame before the
playback commences. That way you might be able to set the framesize
before the playback window opens. However my knowledge of this area is
too limited to try anything like this... I know a little about the asf
format, even less about mpeg video and basically nothing about any
other containers or codes.

The only reason I added the bitrate was because the current asf
demuxer doesnt and I again copied demux_lavf. I dont even know if
setting the bitrate makes any difference.
