I know that. My point is that this is a simple calculation that Avid could make internally WITHOUT WORKAROUNDS.
Avid allows you, for example, to place an OUT POINT in a sequence (or clip) without placing an IN POINT. The Avid figures out the backtiming for you. Imagine if you had to break out a timecode calculator and figure out the inpoint yourself! "OK, I want the clip to end a 1:23:11:12 and my clip is 3:27, so, if I launch my timecode app and type in the correct info, that means I have to set my inpoint at ... wait... is that drop or non drop and which minute am I at in relation to the dropped frames?... hold on a second.... only 1200 more of these calculations to do today..."

Subtract the actual time code of the clip from the time code you want or vice versa depending on which is greater then increment or decrement the source clip time code and you should be there. I find that quicker the cutting into a sequence and adding filler but perhaps I'm missing something obvious. This technique works well for modifying a new version of a feature that has differing time code from the offline feature captured. Of course that rarely happens in the DVD extra/feature world. Only about 75% of the time.
