    Most DV decks do not support Insert editing, only Assemble.

    If you connect to a deck that supports it, like a Beta SP or Digibeta deck, it works fine.

    Happy New Year

    I think the DSR 2000 and 1800 can do it. (and I believe, only with DVCAM not miniDV)

    As far as I’m aware it’s a Firewire issue (somebody correct me if I’m wrong!). If you’ve got a deck with RS422 control on then you should be able to do it, but the Firewire control won’t allow inserts.
