it does look like I can get the frame 0 to go -1 by dropping [timecode] in
the addTimeCode node.
that does seem to work for input/time_code and then I can switch out of it
and back into the native timecode stream after that frame 0.
bit of a hack but I'll take it!
hopefully the editing systems don't use that other dpx/time_code tag - that
seems erratic and hard to control in my limited testing.
thanks deke
