How to generate timecode on a wmv 9 file

[spyros78]

Hi all,

I'm transcoding from an MPG file to wmv. The MPG file has timecode written to it through the SDI. Is it possible to generate a timecode to the wmv file once it's created?

thx in advance.

I don't know of an application that does it, but the WM Format SDK has the APIs to do it, if you're willing to write the code.

See: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa390920.aspx

The full SDK download has some samples too:
