Clip gets split during re-capture
I am running FCP 5.1 on a quad 2.5GHz machine.
I am trying to re-capture some fairly long duration offline clips. The clip spans across several DV timestamp changes (scene changes), but the timecode is continuous thruout the tape.
The problem is, the clip automatically gets split into smaller clips, with numbers postfixed onto the original clip name during re-capture. These aren’t timecode discontinuities, so playing with “on timecode breaks:” options doesn’t help. How do I tell FCP to not create smaller clips across timestamp changes?
One thing of note is that the project comes from Adobe Premiere Pro, and I had it converted to FCP with the help of Automatic Duck. The timeline and the clips look consistent after the conversion, so I didn’t feel this is the cause for the problem.
Has anyone seen this before, or any advice as to what else I can try?

Is there something entered in the System/scratch disk/limit capture size to: dialouge box.
Sorry that the only thing that comes to mind. The AD inthe equation could do something funny.

Thanks for your response.
But, the behavior holds regardless of clip length or file size.
To see if Automatic Duck is causing this, I created a new project, logged a clip that has a scene change in the middle. When I batch captured the clip, two separate clips were created, rather than just one.
If that’s how FCP has been hard-coded (without the option of turning it off), then I’ll just have to manually replace the clips, which is a bit labor intensive…
