       tcConv v1.0 by tritical - Help File  --  July 26, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


INFO:

      This program performs v1<->v2 timecode file conversions.


SYNTAX/EXAMPLES:


       [] = optional


   v2 -> v1:

      Syntax:   tcConv tc_file_in tc_file_out assume_fps [max_diff]

      Examples:

         tcConv c:\timecodes2.txt c:\timecodes1.txt 29.970

         tcConv c:\timecodes2.txt c:\timecodes1.txt 29.970 0.1

         tcConv c:\timecodes2.txt c:\timecodes1.txt 30000/1001 0.1


   v1 -> v2:

      Syntax:   tcConv tc_file_in tc_file_out num_frames

      Examples:

         tcConv c:\timecodes1.txt c:\timecodes2.txt 32095


PARAMETERS:


   tc_file_in -

      The name and path of the input v1 or v2 timecode file.


   tc_file_out -

      The name and path of the output v1 or v2 timecode file.


   assume_fps -

      The framerate to be assumed in the v1 timecode file.  The
      fps is specified as a double precision floating point number or
      as a fraction in numerator/denominator format.  This parameter
      is only used when doing v2->v1 conversions.


   max_diff -

      The maximum fps difference under which two frames are considered
      to have the same fps when converting from v2 to v1.  This argument
      is optional, and if not specified a default value of 0.1 is used.
      Depending on the accuracy of the v2 file this value may need to be
      adjusted so that you don't end up with a ton of only very slightly
      different ranges.


   num_frames -

      Specifies the total number of frames in the video.  This is only
      used when doing v1->v2 conversions.
