<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I would like to get some features re timecodes and SMPTE support in VLC player (there are many of us:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m looking for a developer(s) who can devote some time to this task.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are a software vendor for television companies. We need a standalone solution to view (play) and mark segments (pieces) in media files.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Each frame in a video can be coded with a timecode (TC) which basically looks like “hh:mm:ss;ff” (ff stand for frames, note varying delimiters). Each segment is a pair of timecodes: start (SOM) and end (EOM). Key point
here is the frame-accuracy. Some media containers (ex. WMF, MXF) support a particular field in each frame with the explicitly stored TC (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd562647%28v=vs.85%29.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd562647%28v=vs.85%29.aspx</a>).
