I tried that theory out with no luck.
According to Wiki: "While non-drop time code is displayed with colons separating the digit pairs—"HH:MM:SS:FF"—drop frame is usually represented with a semi-colon (;) or period (.) as the divider between all the digit pairs—"HH;MM;SS;FF", "HH.MM.SS.FF"—or just between the seconds and frames—"HH:MM:SS;FF" or "HH:MM:SS.FF""
I tried, using MSWord, to change all ";" to ":" but Encore no longer recognized the file. Do you know what format Encore use for ndf?
Or rather, a program that can convert df to ndf?
