I have tried to get Quicktime to understand that there is timecode info in
an AVI file, but to no avail.
Looking at Quicktime Pro, it does not see any timecode, in any of the avi's
I have, and yet there is timecode and datecode in each.

So, I chose to write an AVI parser, that extracts the data and time code
from a selected AVI, and put them in a database for later use.
Trouble is this needs to be done the first time you load a new AVI. And for
a 13GB file takes a long time, and quite a lot of space.

Looking at other applications on Windows, not using Quicktime, I see that
they are able to get this info "on the fly", by parsing the avi data before
feeding it to the player, in a filter.

CatDV, which seems to rely heavily on QTJ, seems to get the timecode, and
the start datecode. How did he do that I ask?

At present I have a solution that works, will display the timecode, and
datecode per frame, and will therefore let me split a long movie into
scenes, based on date and/or time codes.

I am just not that happy with the solution I have.

Anyone got a better idea please?

Thanks,
John
