TimeCodeCal is the most flexible time / timecode calculator available. With it's user configurable frame rate from 1 to 100 frames per second, plus hexadecimal mode it is aimed at anyone performing time based calculations, from the casual user to professionals in the broadcast industry.

Duration = 01:23:00:01

Entering 5:: - 1:23::1 =

Displays the result as : 22:41:59:24

Which is the same as 7500 frames minus 124501 is -117001 frames or 1 hour, 18 minutes and 1 frame before midnight.
