THIS TEXT CONTAINS ONLY MPEG VIDEO HEADER INFO - BY WILSON WOO
It's only what I know. Please feel free to update it.
Below is information got from someone.
/*****************************************************************/
Sequence Header
This contains information related to one or more "group-of-pictures"

===================================================================
Aspect raios are defined by a code which represents the height and
width of the Video image.
Picture rates are also defined by a code that represents the number
of pictures that may be displayed each second.
Each group of pictures has a header that contains one "I picture"
and zero or more B and P pictures. The header is concerned with
the time synchronisation for the first picture in this group, and
the closeness of the previous group to this one.
/*****************************************************************/
For picture rate:
1 = 23.976 frames/sec
2 = 24
3 = 25
4 = 29.97
5 = 30
6 = 50
7 = 59.94
8 = 60
Here gives an example. Below is Hex dump of first 256 bytes of
the first Video frame of TEST.MPG from XingMPEG.
