Original text - English - Time stamp

Please, look at this

CC: Lein lilian canale kafetzou Tantine

The way I interpret this is:
A packet with time stamp 500 will appear after the video has been going on for half a second. For a packet with time stamp 23,000, the packet will start after the first 23 seconds of the video.
So I think your first suggested interpretation is the right one.
If the time stamp would indicate a duration, the phrasing would have been something like 'will display for 23 seconds in (or during) the video'.
Hope this helps

Thanks!

You really helped me. I just wonder is this a normal thing to use the construction "to do smth INTO a smth". I have never seen anything like that before... Fo you think "INTO" may mean "AFTER" or "WITHIN"?...

You're welcome

I think your confusion is because of the way you are reading the sentence.
You are right - 'to do something INTO a something' is never (or maybe very rarely) used. I don't think I have ever seen it. (Unless in cases like where you put something into a bowl.)

However, in this construction, 'into' is connected to the time (23 seconds) and stands completely loose from the verb.
In the same way, it is very common for a football commentator to say that the goal happened "35 minutes into the game".
So yes, in this case I think 'after 23 seconds of video, (with)in the video'.

Does that make it any clearer?
Good luck!

Thank you very much, Leinm I've got it!

I ask an administrator to close this issue. Thank you.

Do you mean you don't want the translation anymore?

Exactly. I've got the explanation which is enough for me.

Lein is correct.
