Is there a way to "stamp" a specific timecode into an avi file?

Is there a way to write, to "stamp" a specific timecode into an avi file that don't have timecode? possibly with a dos program

You can dump the metadata from your mxf and write it into another video with ffmpeg

e.g

1) dump metadata
ffmpeg -i c0020.mxf -f ffmetadata metadata.txt

2) write metadata into 2nd video
ffmpeg -i anothervideo.ext -i metadata.txt -map_metadata 1 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -id3v2_version 3 new.ext

Couldn't you do it with a hex editor also?

Thank poison,

because I have to transcode my source (e.g. c0020.mxf) in Matrox Mpeg2I Frame with a Matrox codec, in virtualdub then I have a c0020.avi that are Matrox AVI file. But because of VirtualDub it don't have timecode, so I should have to transfer the timecode from original source c0020.mxf into the c0020.avi, before it is generated with virtualdub.

Possibly I have do to this with a batch file.. possibly I would avoid the manual entry for each clip.

Is there a way to do this?

thank you
