Sorry for the confiusion. I hope the link I gave clariefied things a
bit. http://houghi/gopro.php
You can enter the number of hours, minutes and seconds yourself.
So it is to verify if the human entry is correct.
This is used for calcualtions.

Say that somebody would like to do a timelaps over a period of 8 hours
with an interval of 1 image every second and a framrate of 30. This
would result in a movie that is 16 minutes long.

The time can be almost anything. You could have a project that takes 10
days (240 hours) and with a 60 second interval that would be an 8 minute
movie.

So one can fill out hours, minutes and seconds. However if nothing is
filled out, it is not correct. At least one must be filled out.
Also it must be numbers and not nececerily limited to 59 minutes. If you
have a detail of 117 minutes, you should be able to do that and not
first calculate back to 1 hour and 57 minutes.
So dropdown is not an option (And I dislike dropdown options for
minutes)

So it is not so much time as it is duration.

I am able to test each if there is a numeric field. I can't get the
combination of the fields working:
1) One of the time fields must be filled out.
2) None of the time fields must contain non-digits.
