Re: Understanding timecode in clusters / simpleblocks

This is decribed here:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lhomme-cellar-matroska-03#section-23

((Block timestamp * TrackTimecodescale) + Cluster timestamp) * TimecodeScale

TrackTimecodescale is deprecated and can be considered to be 1 (unless
you're very unlucky and encounter a file with a different value).
