[FFmpeg-user] drawtext timecode from metadata

[Bouke]

Hmm,
I’m pretty sure I saw a reply from Gyan, stating ’not possible, how are you capturing, i’ll look into something’

few seconds later that was gone. (Or I really need to up my medicine…)

Anyways, I’m dong a BM capture, with TC coming in embedded over SDI.
(I must admit I have not yet tested it with BM capture, just with a local file.

The TC as metadata in a Qt atom works just fine.
