On Linux you can read the LTC from a wav file via the ltcdump command, no
idea on other platforms. I am doing that right now actually.

Change the output from mov to wav:

ffmpeg -y -v error -nostdin -i my.mov -vn -c:a pcm_s24le -ar 48000 -ac 2
my.wav

ltcdump -f 29.97 my.wav 2> /dev/null > my.ltc.txt

I recently discussed timecode with ffmpeg here:
