Something to add to the class. The BeBook states that "The timecode_info structure code is used to determine how the conversion should be made, if you specify it. Otherwise B_TIMECODE_DEFAULT is assumed. " However, I could not find anywhere what B_TIMECODE_DEFAULT is supposed to be. I use the PAL timecode as the default because that does not involve drop frames. Since Be Inc was an american company it may be that the default should be NTSC.
