I’ll admit - I’m a Windows user. Trust me, I want a Mac, but now isn’t the time. It’ll be here soon enough though.
So I set out today to find a time code calculator for my calculation needs, and was shocked to find that timecode calculators for Windows are extremely hard to come by. There are many for Mac (and I found one non-working one for the web) but unfortunately nothing seemed to come up for Windows.
I was fortunate enough though to find this fantastic utility (just before I got very angry): WFT Timecode Calculator. It’s based on a Palm time code calculator. It has a nice interface, it’s easy to use, etc. etc.
Check it out today and get the word out - this utility deserves to be shared!

I’ve worked in the television industry here in New Zealand for 12 years now,mainly concerned with live production work, where urgent calculations are often needed. While many of the timecode calculators on the internet are powerful - they all seem to be unnecessarily complicated. Even the one you review. 4 years ago I addressed this issue myself and developed a timecode calculator which is currently installed in 3 television stations. I’ve never marketed it as it only calculates PAL 25frames - but I’m at the point where I’m contemplating developing an international version with NTSC DropFrame capability. Anyhow I’m quite happy to send you a copy for perusal if you are interested. It calculates, logs and prints cuesheets and may be all you need if you edit or work in 25 frame timecode.
Thanks again, just what I need framed to timecode
