Thanks a lot

How bad are the timecode breaks?
If they are really bad, can you do an HDV -FireWire-> HDV deck copy to generate a new master tape with continuous timecode?
Otherwise consider using iMovie HD to generate an Apple Intermediate Codec when it captures. Import that into FCP.
Since FCP is so heavily reliant on good timecode, working without it makes anything other than short projects really a problem. Until the release of cheap reliable non-volatile petabyte disk storage, tape masters will still be the best way of archiving video, and the best way of retrieving this video is marking the tapes and having good timecode.
