Which video player lets you see runtime simply in seconds?

[Rathma]

Instead of seeing a runtime as 03:11 (3 minutes 11 seconds) I want to be able to see it as JUST seconds (191). Is there a way to do this in VLC or MPC?

Asking because I need to set many markers in avidemux and the script only recognizes seconds.

Try using VirtualDub2. It has an option to display the current frame time in seconds.milliseconds. It's an editor but it can play videos as well as edit them.

- mpv can display time in seconds.ms

But Avidemux uses pts, which will not match exactly time in video players, virtualdub or ffmpeg.

[Rathma]

- mpv can display time in seconds.ms

It still shows hours and minutes though.



Basically I don't want to have to do that calculation in my head and figure out what 1:03:08 is in seconds. I just want to be able to see 3788 and write it down.

VirtualDub2 showing time in seconds:

[butterw]

mpv --title="${media-title}:${=time-pos}" video.mp4

will display 3788.827000 in the window title, but you can display it where you like (ex: as an OSD key-binding).

mpv --title="${media-title}:${=time-pos}" video.mp4

will display 3788.827000 in the window title, but you can display it where you like (ex: as an OSD key-binding).

Thank you very much!

And thanks jagabo for mentioning Vdub but MPV seems to play the videos smoother for me.
