That would be a good featureMore likely to miss some dialog and try to hit 5 second skip back button.
I have the Sony DVD blue ray remote and on it just press the DISPLAY button, get total time, elapsed time and audio/video bit rates.I know there is a button on th HD DVD player that shows the progress of the movie and how much time is left, on the ps3 I just have not found it yet. As for info Yep tried it.
