Dear Forum Members,

After searching and reading many posts, I have come to the following conclusion regarding a clean, unbroken timecode on the same tape.

Please reply with any additional thoughts.

1. Striping/blacking a tape is no longer desirable or necessary according to MOST, not all DVX users.
2. Set DVX to REC-RUN, not FREE-RUN.
3. Record at least 5-seconds black/color bars before and after each take.
4. If DVX is powered down/battery is replaced/tape is ejected/tape is viewed in VCR mode, stop tape after last take during black/color bar portion. In camera mode, hit REC CHECK.

Is this a good summary? Also, please let me know if there is any exhaustive article regarding this.

Thanks,
CB

At-least helpful for me. I was a bit confused about time-code issue. Wanted to research on the Time-Code topic. Thanks for posting your findings !

By the way If you post your Steps from the very beginning like from inserting new tape to shoot and setting camera TC from 00:00:00:00 and then start from there. I'm also confused about User Preset.
