How are you reading the video?  PIL doesn't claim to do more than identify  
MPEG files.  Also, which MPEG encoding, in which container format?

If you aren't just putting a wrapper around something like ffmpeg, I  
rather suspect you'll have to decode the bitstream yourself.  That could  
be rather painful if you're talking about MPEG-4/10.
