I am working with the beamer class and using the movie15 package to embed videos into a pdf document.
I notice that when I includde mp4-format videos the embedded player does not include run time information (i.e., a counter/timer like you typically would have on a DVD player which shows you where you are within a given video with respect to time). When I embed a wmv-format video file, this player does include time information in the space above the player controls and below the video images. I could just reformat my mp4 clips into wmv, but I prefer the look of the player as it appears in the mp4 format.
Is there a way of getting the mp4-format player to include a timer which shows the passage of time while the video is running? I don't really care whether the time information were to appear outside the video images as part of the player or, on the other hand, superimposed upon the actual video frames.
I consulted Alexander Grahn's movie15 documentation to no avail.
Here are the specifics of my tex document (MiKTeX 2.8, TeXnicCenter):

Should anyone have taken time to read my question: Thank you!
