Ardour has built-in support to decode LTC from a video's audio-track use
the timecode to align the video:
  Menu >  Session > Open Video ...  Extract Audio; Extract LTC from
audio and align video.

Ardour also supports BWF when importing audio:
  Menu > Session > Import .. Insert at: File timestamp.

but Ardour's video-timeline is meant for post-production. You can only
load a single video at a time.

Another option is to use manually use https://github.com/x42/ltc-tools
and  manually move things around. YMMV.

Cheers!
