Thanks!

I poked around the PyMedia web site for only a few minutes, but it
looks like the right answer -- A small stand-alone library (with a
python API) that, amoung other things, decodes MPEG's

I follow most python newsgroups with some care and interest.  I'm not
sure how the existance of PyMedia escaped me, but it did.

Thanks again,
