[Solved] Bad format with NBC.com subs

Hi,

Thanks for your work, it's very helpful.

When I use your script to convert NBC subs, I get this in SRT:

22
00:01:07:06 --> 00:01:07,190
Sub text

Instead of:

718
00:46:14,538 --> 00:46:16,005
Sub text

Looks identical, but the problem is NBC original subs are using time format "HH:MM:SS**:MILLS" (note the "colon") instead typical format from most subs "HH:MM:SS,**MILLS" (note the "comma").
Problem is actual video software is no capable to manage correctly subtitles with no comma.

There is any way to solve this?

Here's some raw subs from NBC.com, for clarification:

<p begin="00:00:06:00" end="00:00:06:19" region="rollup3" style="basic" tts:origin="20% 84.67%" tts:extent="50.63% 5.33%">>> Steve: FROM STUDIO 6B IN</p>

PS: I've used this in windows with awk port:
type subs.en.tt | awk -f tt-to-subrip.awk > subs.en.srt

Thanks for your time.
