Thanks for providing such a useful tool! Automated vfr in mp4 is nice. Since this is modifying the atoms, does that mean it could do v2 timecodes as well, once a parser is written? (At first I thought it was just splitting and joining the mp4 on each timecode entry!)

afaik the script doesnt edit the atoms or the mp4

afaik it does the following:
1) use mp4box to create a .nhml file containing the timestamps of the source mp4 file (dts)
2) edit the timestamps in the .nhml file according to the info in the timecode file
3) feed this new .nhml file to mp4box, which then creates a new mp4 with the new timestamps

so the script is basically using an option of mp4box already being here for long but noone realised it
i think the .nhml files can be seen as an equivalent to the mkv timecode files

so what we need (and have here) is a "mkv style timecode file" -> "mp4box style timecode file" converter
or tdecimate/dedup to offer the option to output .nhml files directly
