No, it's packet duration, not tmcd frame duration, my patch have do nothing 
for that.(see movenc.c:2348). In addition, for timecode, I don't think vfr is
supported.

The tmcd track just contains one packet with the frame number(4byte), so the
packet data is used by start of timecode. So I set the dts/pts is avoid the
following code think it's invalid packet. If you wonder the patch will change
something, I can update the patch keep packet duration to default zero, then
we can the fate data untouched, for the following track_duration will use it
and make the crc of output is different.
