How hard can it be to convert the files to BWF, or even Avid MXF?
Only thing is i don't know how tc / reelname live in the file (but if the
reel is part of the filename, that can't be hard...)
If someone can mail me a couple of files, (with the proper framerate and
suspected start tc!) i'll have a look.
