Case contract

Convert a non-negative frame count (negative counts return None; counts wrap to the 2589408-frame drop-frame day) to an HH:MM:SS;FF 29.97 drop-frame label: 18 labels are skipped per 10-minute block of 17982 frames, and labels ;00/;01 are skipped at each minute not divisible by ten.

Why this case matters

Timecode arithmetic errors misplace edits, commercial breaks and captions against the broadcast clock.
