No, actually I just let mplayer play through it, and read the last
status line: "V:  15.3 194/194".  "mplayer -vc null -vo null -ao null
-benchmark" works quite well.

Nope.  Asf/wmv in particular just say 1000fps.  Because they are
variable FPS, you have to guess a good -ofps (not -fps!) value to
use (same method as above).
