I know that when you index on the tape you are able to search by those points in the tape, but i was wondering if those index marks were copied over to Final Cut Pro when i capture the footage. This would be awesome if it did. I would be able to mark right after my best takes. I'll definitely try it next time i am able too, but i was just wondering if anybody had already done it.

can you/anyone tell me how do you generate these indexes on the tape.
i just keep on rewinding and fastforwarding to get to the exact place from where i need to capture my filming clips and it is frustarting. also i get errors from premiere saying kind of 'devise offline', the play button on premiere does not do its' job only fw on the camcorder does.

I don't think FCP can copy the index marks over, I think that's a tape thing and not something that's inside the DV data stream. Could be dead wrong however.
For generating indexes, it's pretty simple -- on the DVX100 there's an "index" button. On the DVX100A they changed "index" to "user3", but added a menu item that lets you assign the "index" function to one of the user buttons. You just press it at the start or end of a take, and it makes a mark on the tape. Then you can search to that mark by doing an "index search".
