I'm not sure how TrackTimecodeScale would help? It seems to define how
fast one track needs to be played in comparison to other tracks. What
I'm looking for is a relatively simple "FieldRate" information field
which simply tells us how many fields per second the video track
contains. Can't get much simpler than that. It should pretty much be a
copy of the same information from the video bitstream.

E.g. see h264 and HEVC spec "num_units_in_tick" and "time_scale"
information fields.

Best regards, Mathias.
