od is *so* 1970s.  ;-)  

These days, the common tool is hexdump(1).

But if you were trying to look at an MPEG stream with it, you'd go
nuts; they tend to hundreds of megabytes.

If it were going to give you any practical advantage (it won't, for
reasons I've explained in another reply), I'd point out that there are
MPEG analyzer software packages, and that -- if you were motivated enough --
you might be able to find a way to do it with wireshark.
