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.

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).

Media Player Classic has been discontinued since 2017 and doesn't seem to support many modern video files. AviDemux is still in development and actually works with the files I'm using. – Sufflate

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.
