The short answer is you can't.

My directshow filters are actually silently scanning the entire file to find 
it's duration. Which is why if you open a really huge file, it will take a 
little while to load... since it's actually building a seek index at the 
same time.

In a single chained file... you need to search for the last page in each 
stream, get the granule pos, do the conversion to real time. And choose the 
higher value of all streams.

In a multi chain file (which you won't find many of anyway)... you need to 
binary search for all chain boundaries and do the above process for each 
chain... then add it all together.

Zen.
