# Timecode burn with ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i video.mov -vcodec libx264 -cmp 22 -vf "drawtext=fontfile=DroidSansMono.ttf: timecode='09\:57\:00\:00': r=23.976: x=(w-tw)/2: y=h-(2*lh): fontcolor=white: box=1: boxcolor=0x00000099" -y output.mov

Thanks, this code worked. What is this "-cmp 22" is for ? I can burn timecode without that thing.
