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 :)
