[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 4/5] mov: copy timecode metadata from tmcd track to the related video stream.

[Clément Bœsch]

From: Clément Bœsch <clement.boesch at smartjog.com>

Apple softwares seem not to add a tref for the timecode (the next commit
fixes this issue), but at least FFmpeg does.

This can be used to generate a sample that demonstrates the feature:

    ./ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc
             -f lavfi -i mptestsrc
             -f lavfi -i rgbtestsrc
              -map 0 -map 1 -map 2
              -metadata:s:0 timecode=00:00:00:12
              -metadata:s:2 timecode=01:02:12:33
              -t 10 -y out.mov
    ./ffprobe out.mov

The timecode metadata being transmitted to the video streams, it can be
kept while transmuxed/transcoded.
