Since SMPTE is just a marker, it doesn't actually matter what frame rate the video is encoded in. You can convert the SMPTE time marker to an actual ms time and back only depending on what frame rate SMPTE you pick. The actual frames available don't matter since SMPTE on digital files isn't actually properly counting frames. This is why I call it a marker and not a counter. Silvia.
