I suppose tcprobe can help you .
Example : 
phil at bion:~/Video$ tcprobe -i movie.avi 
[tcprobe] RIFF data, AVI video
[avilib] V: 25.000 fps, codec=DX50, frames=2708, width=512, height=376
[avilib] A: 44100 Hz, format=0x55, bits=0, channels=2, bitrate=118 kbps,
[avilib]    4146 chunks, 1563279 bytes
[tcprobe] summary for movie.avi, (*) = not default, 0 = not detected
import frame size: -g 512x376 [720x576] (*)
       frame rate: -f 25.000 [25.000] frc=3 
      audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 44100,0,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x55 [0x2000] (*)
                   bitrate=118 kbps
           length: 2708 frames, frame_time=40 msec

In this case , duration is 2708 * 40 / 1000 = 108.32 sec .

tcprobe comes with transcode .
