MPEG 4 analyzer?

I think Stream Eye from Elecard/Moonlight Cordless
is a great application. It allows me to analyze
MPEG 1, MPEG 2 and H.264 files / streams.
It displays the sizes of the I, P and B frames, and
allows me to examine the individual frames, and
display the bits/macroblock, motion vectors, etc.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for MPEG 4.
Any suggestions for an MPEG 4 analyzer?

VProve from Vqual (www.vqual.biz).

It's not free, but there is a demo version, though I've no idea what its
limitations are. (I have to state an interest here, I used to work with
the guys who wrote this bit of software :-)

Thanks.

It looks good, but is now sold by Tek, and costs $16k.
A wee bit rich - perhaps my client will go for it, but I doubt it.

Any other suggestions? I hadn't realized quite what a
bargain the Elecard stuff was.

Oh, I thought they still sold it under their own badge as well, might
still be worth getting in touch if you haven't already (no, I'm not on
commission!).

Anyway, there is another commercial one by Mindego (www.mindego.com) but
it only does MPEG-4, not the others you listed.

I'm sure I remember there was another one as well, I'll have to dig
around my bookmarks over the weekend.

Thanks.
I'm waiting for the eval code for the Mindego.

I've been playing with SceneScope, and it seems quite nice,
but lacks a couple of features that I need.

Elecard / Moonlight Cordless might have a beta a StreamEye
with MPEG-4 support in about a month. That's a bit late for
my purposes though.

Couldn't find owt in my bookmarks, but I'm sure the other lot I was
thinking of were Dutch, so might have been these people:
