Comment (by mindmark):

 I recently submitted patches that add support for this. If you compile the
 latest git master it should work.  Currently, you must specify the stream
 you want add the reel_name metadata too. try:
 {{{
 ffmpeg -i ./INPUT.mov -vcodec copy -acodec copy -timecode 01:02:03:04
 -metadata:s:v:0 reel_name=ABCD1234 ./OUTPUT.mov
 }}}
 {{{
 ffprobe ./OUTPUT.mov
