no failure message for 15 fps timecode insertion

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. ffmpeg -i file.avi -vcodec copy -timecode '00:01:23:10' file.mov 
2. file.avi is 15 fps
3. resulting file.mov has no timecode track and no warning

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected either a message stating the inserting the timecode track failed
or to have a timecode track inserted to match the 15 fps content.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.0.3 on Mac OS 10.6

Please provide any additional information below.
Is there a method to apply timecode track to match video track frame or
allow for the timecode track rate to be manually set. Also a max24 flag?
For my 25 and 29.97 content this feature works great.
Thanks much for your work,
Dave

Yes, it doesn't work when stream copying yet.

Can you please try with 0.4-rc1 ?

Thanks.
I tested this is a few files using the same language stated above. The resulting
files do have a timecode track, but when playing in Quicktime the timecode 
values
present as '00:00:13:>7', '00:00:14:68', '00:00:14:@7', ''00:00:15:85' etc. My 
clip
was NTSC and 40 frames long and the timecode track ranged from 
00:00:13:>7-00:00:35:@1.

I also noticed that using "ffmpeg -i file.avi -vcodec copy -timecode 
'00:00:00:00'
file.mov" does not produce any timecode track in the resulting file.

Humm, I think I will need a sample. Can you please upload your 15 fps file 
somewhere ?

The process had similar results with 29.97 fps content. Here is a 15fps file 
before
and after running the command.

I don't think I wish to handle 15 fps and timecode tracks.
So I'll discard the issue for now.
