if you're going to remove the tape and use it again later (like when you want to continue shooting), make sure you're recording at least 10 seconds of colorbars and then unload the tape. You need that extra "pre-coded" space when you're going to use that tape again. Insert it, rewind a bit untill the last scene. When you see your pre-recorded colorbars, stop playback and go back into recording mode. Now you can continue recording again without an interrupting timecode. Better safe then sorry :)
@CircleofShit ONLY when you shot enough and you're removing the tape and you're planning to use the same tape again (if there is enough free space on it). If you're using freshtapes then they are blank and have no timecode. The camera is writing a timecode onto the tapy while recording. As soon as the recording stops, the timecode stops aswell and you have blank timecode gap on your tape. When the camera is recording again it is "assembling" the new timecode.
@KRAFTWERK2K6 ... it is assembling the new timecode. But only if you continue recording after the last scene. If you have a timecode gap and you're recording again, the camera starts writing a new timecode, which causes problems if you're batching your tapes later again, like when you're importing a Editors Decision List into your timeline. That's why i always record a few seconds of colorbars that i can delete again after i inserted the tape into my DVX. You just need a few pre-roll seconds.
@CircleofShit Nope. Only when you have some space left on the tape and you wanna use it later again & you gonna shoot right after the last scene you shot on it. You just need a few extra seconds of timecode. Colorbars are a good choice (i've set the colorbars to one of the "user" buttons). Insert the tape then rewind it a bit, press play and you'll see the last scene you shot. Right after the last scene press stop and you can record again without timecode gap :) record over your prerecorded bars
@KRAFTWERK2K6 Ok thanks I think I've got it. so you only do this if you take the tape out, and use it again later on, not every time you record on your DVD and stop?
Pre-roll is the amount of time (position) that the editing software you are using for example. FCP will "cue" a tape deck to prior to the in point of the clip.
Post roll is the amount of time that the deck continues to roll AFTER the out point of a clip is reached. It's a concept that goes as far back to the linear editing days.
@chrismon0 Also to save yourself grief, always shoot continuous time code (record run) rather than setting your camera to "free-run or time of day" type code. This will eliminate the errors when a deck attempts to cue or pre roll back over a break in code. Time of day type code is useful when you need a record of just when an event happened, but it will cause undue problems if you need to capture a number of clips from your tape and your shots have little or no pad at the beginning or end.
@chrismon0 Just make sure that you roll your camera for a few seconds extra before and after your scene. Breaks in continuous time code will cause lots of problems when trying to capture footage. Time is a Luxury, Tape is cheap, edit time isn't. When in doubt, let it roll. Your editor will thank you. Hope this helps.
Great videos!! We are now subscribers to your page, I think your page is ausome!! Subscbribe to ours We use our page to save people time who are looking to learn particular things
great tutorial man, I am a TV major at Towson University and about to graduate. I can't decide what camera to get. I was thinking of getting this because this is what we use at Towson but I am thinking that maybe I should go with the new pro cameras that are digital...any input?
i agree you should know how to use it before purchasing, but it's not IMPOSSIBLE if you are a beginner. first time doing videography and i bought this camera. if you are a beginner, be prepared to spend lonely nights going through many menu screens!
I'm such a wimp and a technophobe when it comes to cameras but this was sooo helpful. I'm light years behind everyone else but this video will help me ease into traffic. Thanks a lot!
This video is seriously the most helpful video regarding the DVX100 that i've seen on the web, I'm definitely gonna buy one after seeing this. Thanks!
i believe those are sachtler stick with a bogen 501 or 503 teflon head. i dont think either model is a true fluid head, but theyre both pretty nice regardless. teflon is fine as long as youre not shooting in a sand storm and too lazy to clean it.
VERY helpful.

@KRAFTWERK2K6 I still don't get the colour bar thing. so I record 10-30 seconds of it then record straight after whatever I was going to film?

What is Roll up or post roll?

@chrismon0
Pre-roll is the amount of time (position) that the editing software you are using for example. FCP will "cue" a tape deck to prior to the in point of the clip.

It's not worth the money if you don't know how to use all of it's manual settings. It's not a beginners camera.
