Re: timecode breaking
Is this also in camera or only in FCP?
Are your TC-setup at FREERUN?

Re: timecode breaking
But -- if you're running in free mode, that means the timecode's always advancing whether the tape's moving or not. So yes, every time you paused recording, you'd get a timecode break -- that's what it's designed to do. If you want to avoid timecode breaks, you have to use REC RUN mode instead of FREE RUN.

Re: timecode breaking
No problem, glad to help. FREE RUN is great for some circumstances (like matching two or three cameras to have the same timecode) but, it does break every time you start/stop. The great thing about the DVX is it lets you have all the options.

Right on, every setting has it's use, it might just not be useful for what you are shooting at the moment though. Stay tight to our own guru Barry the wise and you will learn! =)
