datetime

I have a subtitle text file that works with standart srt format 00:00:00,000 Hour, minutes, seconds, milliseconds.

I want to create a timer to update the subtitle screen and check the current time to know what subtitle show on screen.

Which is the best to use? NSTimeInterval, NSDate? I think the best is to convert all to times to milliseconds number and compare. But NSTimeInterval works with seconds, not milliseconds.

Some clue?
