Although IME it much more common to specify the frame number after a dot* 
but ffmpeg doesn't seem to do that. (There may be North American vs Europe 
vs Asiatic regional conventions on this.)

*hh:mm:ss.ff, or occasionally hh:mm:ss:ff, but the latter is ambiguous if 
either hh or ff are omitted

Perhaps some day I'll look at the command arg time parser to see what 
assumptions are made and where they're documented.

z!
