I agree with your line of thinking, but since they give 1/30 fps frame as 23520000 flicks, I get 1 NTSC frame = 23520000 * (1001 / 1000) flicks = 23543520 flick

I was all set to file a doc PR but noticed you have to file a CLA. newp.

- zokier 9y agoIt is worth noting that while you can represent single NTSC frame time exactly in Flicks, it still does not fulfill their goal of representing "also 1/1000 divisions of each" for NTSC. To get there you'd need 1 Flick to be 25 times smaller, i.e. 1/17640000000 seconds. Although this would go below 1 ns, which was also one of their constraints, but I'm not exactly sure what importance that really has.
- pebers 9y agoPossibly range? At that scale the max representable duration is about 16.5 years (assuming they're 64 bits, IIUC the standard mandates that as a minimum) which could be limiting - although that seems unlikely to be a concern in the framerate domain, but who knows what it might get used for when that might become an issue.
