[Avid-L2] Re: Ama'd DVCProHD footage transcoded to DNX loses time code at end section?

Good idea I remember incrementing time code 1 frame and then doing the reverse use to take care of a similar issue when modifying time code from drop to non drop or vice versa. The first 4GB of the clip would modify time code but the subsequent ones didn't until the above mentioned trick. I'll give it a try and report back.
