    If you have a Sony VTR, you can put the deck into External Timecode. Then it will read and recreate the original TC.

    [bruce buttery] “is there anyway to do just the camera and fcp via firewire? “

    Not to do a tape to tape transfer with matched TC. You can certainly capture the footage into FCP with the original TC by using start / stop detection, but then you’d have to set up a timeline with the same TC as the original tape to make it match back to the original.

    Deck to deck is the easiest way to do what you want to do.
