    Sounds like you are talking about HDV. And if you are capturing as HDV, then no, there is no way to stop this. That is just the nature of the GOP structure of HDV.

    I just completed an HDV project that had the very problem.
    The client was logging footage and wanted clips right at
    the exact moment there was a scene change which caused
    the batch capture to fail on about 15% of the clips.

    My workaround for this is:

    tell your camera people to roll for at least 10 seconds
    before action, and keep it rolling at least 10 seconds after
    the action is done.

    Tell the person logging footage for later capture that
    they can only log after the first 10 seconds of a scene
    change and 10 seconds before the next scene.

    Though if they look at the footage if the shooter did
    it properly, it should be obvious.

    if it’s not HDV you can set the preset to capture through timecode breaks.
