can windows media player show milliseconds

Question

As i was looking to split a tutorial video file(.wmv) with this amazing tool called Asfbin, looked every settings in media player but in vain couldn't find one...

Is there a way to set windows media player to display the time with milliseconds along with hour:minute:seconds?

my current media player ver: 12.0.7601.17514 running on Win 7

Answer 1

As I was searching for a similar thing in the past, couldn't find any solution , but I moved on to media player classic and I would pause at a particular place in the video to check the current time in milliseconds by hitting Ctrl+G ....

Though this seems a bit messy but slowly started living with this :) , and I will do so until someone finds a better option, or if u find anything better post ur answer here..

Answer 2

Use media Player Classics! You can make a right click on the Position label and then click on "high precision"

So you can see the position in millisecond without clicking CTRL+G every time.

Answer 3

I found this solution - I was looking for a millisecond display and ability to precisely move the playback point, but for mp4 files:

Works very nicely for me! (041214 64-bit beta on Windows 7).

Answer 4

I am answering for Media Player Classic.

To show milliseconds go to View->Subresync (or press Ctrl+6).

For this to work, you need to add a subtitle. If you don't have one, just create a text file, rename the extension to .srt and add something like this:

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Hello

I tried the Ctrl+G solution but it wasn't very accurate. In fact, when I clicked Go! it actually moved me to a different frame instead of staying there.

Hope this helps.
