@KRAFTWERK2K6 Thanks.

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

@CircleofShit Yes, exactly :)

[CircleofShit]

@CircleofShit I meant DVX not DVD.

[CircleofShit]

@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?

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

@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. So, I shoot a scene, stop the tape, then I need to record the colour bars then stop the tape then record normally again?

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

@KRAFTWERK2K6 i should make a videotutorial for that soon. ;)

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

@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.

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

@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.
