to make a ntsc dv mov with time code

[Jim Shupert]

friends,

my goal is to make a dv ntsc mov with time code starting at 10:00:00:00

i tried 
-timecode_frame_start 1638915 ( i realize that that is the wrong - time num but i was simply trying to do something that might work )

ss@aldrin:~/00_script$ ffmbc -i /media/data/vid/004-10bit.avi -y
-vcodec dvvideo -s 720x480 -pix_fmt yuv411p -r ntsc -timecode_frame_start 
1638915  -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -ac 2
/media/data/media_2/004-10bit.mov

Unrecognized option 'timecode_frame_start'


i see in the documentation

 -timecode  <string> E.... Set timecode value: 00:00:00[:;]00, use ';'
before frame number for drop frame

so i tried " -timecode  10:00:00:00 "

ffmbc -i /media/data/vid/004-10bit.avi -y -vcodec dvvideo -s 720x480
-pix_fmt yuv411p  -timecode  10:00:00:00 -r ntsc  -acodec pcm_s16le -ar

This makes file but i do think that the mov does not have time code.

so my question is is it possible to creat a dv ntsc mov with a declared TC.

I also tried the 2 methods above and moved the order around in the command
1-- 
-timecode  10:00:00:00
2--
-timecode_frame_start 1080000  ( non drop )

I also see ( as i reRead that the time code says it can be deClared when doing "a copy"  so does that mean i have to 1st make a mov without time code then do something like the above?

Thanks much!

This option is deprecated, using -timecode is so much simpler.

How so ? Did you open it with FCP or Quicktime ?

sorry -- in the time since i sent the email i ..looked again..
indeed . i have successfully made a ntsc DV mov w time code that
starts @ 10 hours.

( embarrassed to say ) i am so seldom at a Mac that i failed to switch
the time code gadget [ left side ] from counter to Time Code. ;(

{ I wished VLC would show time code ....}
but the first command : -timecode 10:00:00:00
works great !

Thanks!

ps: love the ffmbc
