How to change format of timecodes on export of labels track?

Post by dudido » Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:05 pm

Hey,

I've labeled some files in Audacity. I want to reuse this data in another application. This application expects timecodes in the following format:

HH:MM:SS.XXX

Audacity seems to constantly export in the following format:

SS.XXX

(XXX representing any number of fractions)

e.g.
894,966160 896,061119 LABELTEXT
910,499982 912,057257 LABELTEXT

That is, seconds are not being divided into minutes or hours. Is there a way to change this behaviour or does anybody have a suggestion for an application to transformat the timecodes?

Thanks,

dudido

Pull the data into a spreadsheet and use a calculation to convert ssss.xxxx into hh:mm:ss.xxxx.

Thanks for the reply Bill. I suggest implementing a choice of output formats for the next release.
