I just saw your reply this week (and thought I responded). The problem with using Video/PAL/NTSC/SECAM is that "video", "PAL", etc.. imply a specific frame rate/counting scheme (drop frame, for example). My module handles any frame rate/counting scheme. SMPTE's timecode spec is concerned with the lowlevel details of timecode representation i.e. hardware. Time::Video::SMPTE could be mistaken as a low level interface to say, a video router.
