[FFmpeg-user] "fps 2997 is too large" - creates mov with bad public atom (error -2002

[Steve C]

After additional testing, it seems like the problem seems to be related to
the DF timecode, or some combination of ProResHQ.mov with DF timecode.

When I use a PAL source file (NDF, 25fps), the ffmpeg command statement
works with no problems. timecode from source is copied over to the target.

i don't need to use the '-timecode' or the '-r' options in order to make it
work.

is this a bug with the way FFMPEG handles DF timecode or ProRes files?

thanks again,
steve
