Hi Tarun,

Q1) All frames have an absolute time. Some frames such as P/B are derrived
from prior frames in a sequence of frames.
Q2) You ask if "ffmpeg can read time code and process them", I suspect you
could be asking about trimming a sequence of frames between start and end
times. You can trim a sequence with the -ss (start time) and -t (duration)
parameters.

All the best,
Paul Yurt
