[FFmpeg-user] Burning timecode into mov file

[bartom]

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:
