It's located in TOOLS/ in mplayer's source tree. Or you can use the
following options:
$ mplayer -vo null -ao null -identify -frames 0 <filename.ext>
Look for the line "ID_LENGTH=xx".
In my experience, mplayer always returns accurate media length for .avi
and .wmv. For .mpg, it often reports 1x seconds less. For .mov, it
always has no result at all.
So, for .mpg, I use mpgtx, and for .mov, I use libquicktime.
