[libdv-dev] dv_encode_timecode and frame rate

[Richard B. <ba...@th...>]

In dv_encode_timecode() (and elsewhere), NTSC video is assumed to be 30
fps (non-drop frame). However, NTSC video is actually 29.97 fps
(drop-frame). This presents a problem, when a program is using 29.97 fps
internally, and tries to tell dv_encode_timecode to encode a timecode
based on the current frame number.

Is there any intention/incentive to expand dv_encode_timecode to other
frame rates, such as drop-frame (IIRC, DVCAM and DVCPRO allow you to
select drop-frame or non-drop-frame, and DV is just drop-frame).

Thanks,
Richard
