As I understand, the first thing I should do when buying a DV tape is to record from start to end to establish a serial timecode. I tend to buy tapes "just in time"
and find myself needing to record before I have had a chance to establish the timecode. Thi results in my DVD recorder getting pretty darned confused over what it sees on the tape.
My question is whether there is anyway way to correct this? As I recall, the timecode is laid down on the tape just once and from then on there is no way to correct it if it's not from start to finish.
Is this correct? Is there any way to fix an "interrupted" timecode?
Thanks.
