  1. I know the frame number and the size of the VOB file in bytes.

    How can I find out the byte location of the frame ?

    ie frame 1984 starts at location 68036600 bytes

    cheers

    Yes, I know this is an almost 10 year old thread, but since I have searched for days before finding a good method to do just what is asked here, I thought I'd include it in case anyone else is looking. It works on most of the types I've tried it on so far.

    You will need the ffmpeg.exe file and run the following command which will produce a report which will show all the frame numbers and their actual file location(just behind the necessary 08 tag):

    ffmpeg-20130314 -report -i "section1.flv" -vf showinfo -t 10 showinfo.flv
    creates a Key frame position report for 10 seconds
    OR
    ffmpeg-20130314 -report -i "section1.flv" -vf showinfo showinfo.flv
    creates report for whole video

    The report will look similar to below but with a lot more information. The highlighted areas show the type file (iskey=1 means key frame) and the byte position of the start of the frame:

    Stream mapping:
    Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (vp6f -> flv)
    Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (mp3 -> libmp3lame)
