I'm trying to determine the current frame, the total number of frames in the movie a and real time (in seconds from beginning of a movie using [movie currentTime]

QTTime is defined as

typedef struct {
   long long        timeValue;
   long            timeScale;
   long            flags;
} QTTime;

with the comment:
// SMPTETime:

// hh:mm:ss:ff or hh:mm:ss;ff for drop frame

Tech Note 2138 http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2005/tn2138.html states that this is AKA:

// ,,,dd:hh:mm:ss.ff/ts
which translates into:
days:hours:minutes:seconds:frames/timescale

But as I step through my movie the string that [movie currentTime] returns is of the form

0:00:00:05.315/2997
0:00:00:05.415/2997 in consecutive frames

Continuing Stepping, I see transitions like

0:00:00:06.2918/2997
0:00:00:07.21/2997
0:00:00:07.121/2997 in consecutive frames


Is 315 in the first instance, the current frame, or 3? If its 3, what is 15?
How do I translate this into a time in seconds?

Thanks,
Joseph Ayers
