In the next version of VLC? using Qt4 GUI, you have a different way of
showing the time.

It shows xx:yy/zz:tt in the statusBar. If the time is longer that one
hour, it shows xx:yy:zz/tt:mm:nn.
If you click on it, it shows remaining time instead of elapsed time.

If you double click on it, it opens the open the GOTOTime dialog in
order to skip easily.

If vlc doesn't know the total time, like in avi/http, it shows the
elapsed time only, and --:-- instead of total time.

I hope it fits what you want.

Best Regards,
