Hi,
could anyone tell me the command in ffmpeg to burn the timecode track of a
mov file onto the video?
(I've installed the latest version of ffmpeg that has support for the ProRes
codec).
Thank you very much for any hint.
Best wishes

tomas bar

Burn the track? If you meant burn the timecode onto the video, see
timecode and rate option in drawtext filter:
http://ffmpeg.org/libavfilter.html#drawtext

If you meant to add a timecode code track in the mov, this is not
supported at the moment: http://ffmpeg.org/general.html#Timecode. You can
extract the current timecode from the tmcd track with ffprobe though.

...and if that is still unclear there is a worked example at :-

Hi,
Many thanks for your answers and your help.

I tried using ffprobe to extract the timecode stream as you suggest, but
ffprobe doesn't seem to be able to decode the timecode stream. I ran the
command:

ffprobe -show_streams test.mov

but I get the message 'Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 2' (the
timecode stream). Do I need to specify some other option so that ffprobe can
decode the timecode stream?
Thanks again for any help

T. Bar

The complete output of my command ffprobe -show_streams test.mov is:

Thanks for your reply and pointing this out. I see now.
I ran the command:

ffprobe -show_packets test.mov

and in the output of this command containing all the packets, there is only
a single packet of the timecode stream (all the rest are audio and video
packets). This is the packet of the timecode stream:

[PACKET]
codec_type=data
stream_index=2
pts=0
pts_time=0.000000
dts=0
dts_time=0.000000
duration=6371400
duration_time=2548.560000
size=4
pos=39369995192
flags=K
[/PACKET]

Is this normal, that there is only one packet in the timecode stream? I had
a total misconception concerning the timecode track. I thought that for each
video frame, the timecode stream has a frame storing a different timecode
value. But I suppose I was wrong: each video file has only one value in the
timecode track: the TAG:timecode=18:27:15:17 that you pointed out, which is
the start timecode, and that's it?

Many thanks again.

This is normal for ffmpeg, which only supports a "first frame" timecode
and a rate. In fact some containers (mov, mxf and gxf?) support frame by
frame timecode tagging allowing for discontinuities. However there are
very few applications that can make use of this, and in particular every
NLE I have come across works the same as ffmpeg.

Ok. Thanks a lot for the clarification.
Yes, I'm dealing with mov files that can have discontinuities in the
timecode. I have to preserve the discontinuities because they correspond to
the real time, that is what I want to burn onto the video.
I wanted to avoid using final cut pro, but I guess its the only option.
Many thanks again.

If you meant to add a timecode code track in the mov, this is not
supported at the moment: http://ffmpeg.org/general.html#Timecode. You can
extract the current timecode from the tmcd track with ffprobe though.
Clément, now, after some months, it seems supported:

"MOV X X"

but I can't make it work, and I've been searching and studying all day...

The command I'm trying to apply is:
ffmpeg -i <input.mov> -acodec copy -vcodec copy -metadata
timecode=15:14:13:00 <output.mov>
but I get nothing...

Do you have some advice?

Thank you very much

Gianluca

Clément, I've tried the command
*ffmpeg -i STD_0022.MOV -timecode 15:14:13:00 -acodec copy -vcodec copy

but I don't think I have any success. The timecode doesn't show up in QT 7.x
nor in FCP.
I don't have ffprobe and I currently don't have the tools to compile it,
since I understand there's no binary available for download. In the
meantime, I've called the resulting MOV file with *ffmpeg -i* and this is
the result:

And:

June, 7, 2012, FFmpeg 0.11.1

(and actually 0.11 is even older, .1 being just a bug fixes release)

So I believe your version is too old. Note that we highly recommend our
users to use the latest development version, which you can get on
https://ffmpeg.org/download.html.

You seem yo be looking for a Mac OS build, and unfortunately the static
build provided by tessus seem indeed limited to the release versions. I'd
suggest you to look into the wiki for detailed instructions:
https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/MacOSXCompilationGuide

Clément, thanks for your help, but the 0.11.1 is exactly the version that
I've used, as reported in the output I had attached ("/ffmpeg version
0.11.1-tessus Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg developers
built on Aug 16 2012 18:49:35 with llvm_gcc 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc.
build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.1.00)/ ").
So I must be giving some incorrect command, I'm afraid.

For the ffprobe, I've found the windows build and used it, but the output is
exactly the same as the one returned by "ffmpeg -i" command.

I appreciate your help
Gianluca

Hello Guys,

sorry for opening this issue once again, but I'm trying to deal with quite
the same problem.
I'm quite new in this field. Let me try to give you an overview.
I have several video stream from several synchronised cameras which I would
like to save. For a later analysis I need to jump to a specific frame in
each of these videos. To do this I thinking to use the timecode.
As far as I understood it correctly, that what I'm looking for is the "burnt
in timecode" (BITC) which is keyed into each frame content, right?
The normal timecode is keyed in the header of GOP, which will allow me to do
a kind of estimation, right?
The general question is, does only AVI or other video container, like MOV
allow BITC?
It this feature related to the codec I'm using, as well? Which codecs are
supporting BITC?

Thank you in advance.
Best Greg

The normal timecode is keyed in the header of GOP, which will allow me to do
a kind of estimation, right?
The general question is, does only AVI or other video container, like MOV
allow BITC?
It this feature related to the codec I'm using, as well? Which codecs are
supporting BITC?
All codecs accept BITC.
it is, as you stated, burned into the video, so it becomes part of it.
The encoder would not know if it's digits or regular video.
(aso you can never remove it...)

Hi Bouke,

thank you very much, your post was quite enlightening.
Nevertheless, I still don't know if I'm able to use BITC to address a
particular frame.

For example does ffmpeg provides access to a particular frame by addressing
it via BITC (give me frame at 00:04:12:42). If so, how to do it?

Best Regards and many tnx in advance.
Greg

Yes, manually while looking at the image :-)

Nope, FFmpeg has no OCR (that would be required)
If you want to adress specific frames, be aware that you need a proper codec
to do frame accurate searching.
check the -ss options to go to specific frames

Not via the BITC but you can use the

tnx a lot.. this was really enlightening!
A very last question, this method is not supported by all formats, right?
Is there a list with the supported formats somewhere?

cheers

eerm, if you don't keep the conversation intact, how should i know what
method you're talking about?
I take it you're aiming at frame accurate searching.

Not that i know of, but if you stick with I frame only codecs you 'should'
be good.
