How can I find out the headers size of any given MKV files?

Thank you.

Try mkvverify "file" -summary. The last line is something like:

overhead : 112,629

Is it correct to assume that overhead and headers are the same? if not, how to get the correct size of the headers only?

Thanks,

Actually I guess that is just full muxing overhead and not just headers, I have no idea how to get their size out. =\

That's ok. Maybe I should use MP4 instead of MKV. Can we isolate the real headers from MP4 files?


Thanks,

You are aware that MKV files (nor do many container types) do not have a fixed header size right? If you want to know how to read out the headers perhaps it easier to read the specification?
