Timecode out in MediaPool

Hello all,
I am having a rather odd problem and I wondered if anyone can explain it.
I have written a script that reads stuff out of the media pool. When I do timecodeout I seem to always get 00:00:00. It seems to give the answer of length-timecode out.
is this a mistake in my code or is it just how Vegas does it. Its odd because in the media pool the timecodeout seems to "look" valid
Thanks
Richard

Timecode out works for me in 5.0b.

TimecodeOut is only set in media that was captured by Vegas Capture. TimecodeIn is non-zero in media that was captured by Vegas Capture or media that a custom timecode is defined for.

I suspect that the math for the display of TimecodeOut in the media pool is:

TimecodeOut = TimecodeIn + Length

However, as you have noted, the Media.TimecodeOut value will always be zero unless the media was captured by Vegas Capture.

Hi rcampbel.
I did not capture via Vegas so that explains it.
Thanks for your help
