ouch, it must be hard to walk (not to mention eat) with your foot stuck in your mouth like that.
in this application, the timecode format most often used is SMPTE VITC format (if it weren't VITC, you wouldn't be able to see the timecode in freeze frame or at lowered playback rates on the original tape). SMPTE codes are most often streamed onto the video by the TC machine itself, as the tape is being produced from film. this, in fact, is the most common way for them to be generated, all the later copies just being dupes of the original SMPTE (or, it can be put there at any one of a number of later stages of duplication, by various devices -- hell, i've got an svhs player that can generate an SMPTE tone -- however, generally, VITC timecodes can not be added to an existing tape, as can LTC formats, because the timecode is part of the video stream, as opposed to being streamed to one of the audio tracks; therefore, it must be created at the time of the orignal telecining, or else while duping to another tape).
in any case, my point is, the TC machine can easily produce an SMPTE stream, and this is in fact the most logical time for one to be produced, since this is when the framerate etc is being adjusted, and will set a standard against which future dubs and edits can be compared (in the US, the NTSC 30fps "drop code" format is most often used, when dealing with a feature-length film).
it's not a big deal when ppl don't know what they're talking about, but it's really lame when some smartass jumps in trying to put other people down by spouting shit about which he knows nothing. next time, do your homework before you try to make yourself feel smarter by putting others down, asshole.
