I am wanting to read the header information of a mpeg file. I need to be able to read the file information in HEX. Anyone have any good ideas on how to do this? Thanks.

How to read a file in HEX

I use VStudio.NET, and it will load unknown files into a debugger. This is really useful. The problem is that if VStudio recognizes the file type, then it loads it properly. Sometimes, like you, I WANT to see the hex code. What I do is rename the file giving it a different file extension (ex. RunFile.Exe becomes RunFile.MOI - My Own Initials). VStudio will then normally load it into the debugger (although a few it has recognized by data structure).
