Capture, work flow, random question
When I capture I generally go through and capture the clips I think I’ll need, log them and then batch capture.
But lately I’ve started just capturing whole tapes as single clips, running the DV start/stop and working from there. It seems to be working fine – is there any real downside to doing this?

If you ever lost that file, or it became corrupt, you’d be looking at another hour of capture, as opposed to a smaller amount of time if a smaller clip was lost (happens rarely).
Seek times are faster on smaller clips if you have LOTS of them, as opposed to the seek times of lots of large clips. I noticed this on large projects.
Possibly not relinking to the timecode if you ever need to recapture. But again, that is rare. Mainly due to the timecode breaks.
But, other than that, not really. If it works, go for it.
