I think you can get similar information from mplayer if you play the
video with an extra -v or two on the command line.

mythtered% mplayer -v -vo null -ao null
/u/ext2t/mythvideo/BluRay/Wall-E/Wall-E.m2ts 2>&1 | grep "VIDEO PID"
ADDED VIDEO PID 6913, type: 10000005 stream n. 0
ADDED VIDEO PID 4113, type: 10000005 stream n. 1
ADDED VIDEO PID 6912, type: 10000005 stream n. 2

In this case -vid 4113 selects the right video stream.
