Question Manually Edit Smart Skip/Smart Chapter XML Files?

Hello everyone! I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I did a searc and wasn't able to find an answer so here goes!

For the most part the Smart Skip has worked pretty well, but what if I want to manually change the file itself, I see where you can simply change the time, but there is also another number after there here is an example:
Code:
<Region>
        <start comment="00:06:39.8770770">3998770770</start>
        <end comment="00:08:57.3143772">5373143772</end>
    </Region>
What for example I want to change it from 06:39 to 05:39? I already tried simply changing the time, that didn't work because that other number before the </start> and </end> the last 7 numbers seem to be the milliseconds, but the first three seem a bit inconsistent with the seconds. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, like if there was some type of formula that I could use? So that I could tweak some of the XML files to be exactly correct to skip over commercials?

Thanks in advance!

It is not inconsistent with the seconds at all. In fact, those numbers are exactly the seconds. If you want to change it to 5:39 the number you should use is 339. Just multiply the minutes by 60 and add the remaining seconds. Some examples:
6:39 (6*60)+39 = 399
5:39 (5*60)+39 = 339
8:57 (8*60)+57 = 537
