There really isn't away to do the kind of math functions you are asking.  This kind of processing would be great as a regex, but regex only does string processing, so there isn't really away to add the kind of logic you are looking for into a search).  About the best you could do is drop the seconds from your 300 field -- in which case, that isn't that difficult.  Assuming data is regular, you could use an expression that looks something like this in the replace function

Find: (=300.*\$a)(\([0-9]* min)(.*sec\))(.*)
Replace: $1$2)$3

Check regular expression

I'm not somewhere where I can test this, but this should work (with maybe some minor changes).

Subject: [MARCEDIT-L] minutes and seconds for music or videos in field 300

Hi,

I don't know if it is possible with MarcEdit 7, but I want to convert minutes and seconds into minutes only in field 300.

For exemple : I have  =300  \\$a1 fichier vidéo (05 min 57 sec):$bsonore and I want it to be changed into : =300  \\$a1 fichier vidéo (06 min):$bsonore

Is that feasible ? At least, if it is not possible to change 05 min 57 sec into 6 min is it possible to change it into plain 05 min?

Am I being clear?

Thanks for your help,
