As a supplement to my post on how to convert an Avid locators file to chapter markers for Final Cut Studio, I decided to just make a little web app to do it for you. Paste the contents of your locators file in the top box, click Convert, and then copy/paste the contents of the bottom box into a new text file and import that into DVDSP or Compressor.
If you forgot to change the starting timecode of your sequence Hour 0, you can batch add or subtract a certain # of hours using the control below.
Enjoy!

This is fabulous, thank you for sharing!
I was just building something similar in Filemaker Pro so that I could add locators to a text track in QT Pro.
You’re welcome! This trick has saved me tons of time, and I’m very happy if it can save time for others, too.
