        movenc: add timecode track support.

And:

    June, 7, 2012, FFmpeg 0.11.1

(and actually 0.11 is even older, .1 being just a bug fixes release)

So I believe your version is too old. Note that we highly recommend our
users to use the latest development version, which you can get on
https://ffmpeg.org/download.html.

You seem yo be looking for a Mac OS build, and unfortunately the static
build provided by tessus seem indeed limited to the release versions. I'd
suggest you to look into the wiki for detailed instructions:
https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/MacOSXCompilationGuide
