I saw in the code that the percent_pos is calculated by division of
frames. Would it not be possible to divide that by the fps value of the
video to get the time?

But if I manually resize the window with the mouse, the image is
rescaled. How is that done?>

It would have one advantage though: a plattform-indepent way to do it. I
use with JAVA, so I could really use it.

Thanks for the resonse. I will familiarize myself with the code and see
what I can do...
