Those are frame numbers you're seeing (begin showing at frame a, stop showing at frame b), and that 23.976 is frame rate (frames/sec) of the recording.
If you can how many frames are in the first half of the film, it should be an easy matter and a bit of scripting to subtract the number of frames in the first film and viola! It looks like a rather fun learning project, actually :) -Nye On Sat, Aug 28, 2010 at 9:00 AM, John Jason Jordan <[email protected]>wrote: > On Sat, 28 Aug 2010 06:55:06 -0700 > Michael Rasmussen <[email protected]> dijo: > > >On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 08:40:06PM -0700, John Jason Jordan wrote: > >> I am trying to watch an old Korean movie.
