Thanks Glen , I will certainly give this a try.

Another possible solution is to direct the transcription house
to Courtney's fine program BWF Widget Pro.
It can read the timecode stamped .WAV files or MP3's.

Contact the transcription company and see if they are old school and want an
LTC track or if they are more modern and can work from timecode stamped MP3
files.

If you need LTC you can create a track with timecoder at www.one-n.com. If
they want timecode stamps in the ID3 tags of MP3 files you can use
Courtney's program at www.bwfwidget.com

We are a transcription company that has found a way around this
problem. When a client has an original tape or DVD, etc, with a
visual time code, they create a sound file from it, send us the sound
file, and we produce a transcript and add timings using the sound
file's built-in time codes, i.e. the ones that start from 00:00:00.
When the client gets the transcript back they can use a piece of
software we've written that converts the time codes in the transcript
to the ones on the original DVD. For example, the first time code in
the sound file is always 00:00:00, and if that point equates to
10:00:30 on the original DVD, you feed both those codes into the
software and it will convert that and all subsequent time codes
accordingly. We have been using this system for years and it works
excellently.

The only situation in which it will not work is if the time codes on
the original DVD are non-sequential, for example if they restart from
00:00:00 for every take. They usually do not, but non-sequential time
codes not unknown.

We make the time code conversion software available on our web site
free of charge to everyone, at:
http://www.waywithwordsonline.com/client_time.php

The software is Internet-based, so you don't even need to download it.

If you would like to outsource your transcription work to a more
technologically advanced company than your present provider, please
consider us!
