No “dv start/stop detection” with DVCPro50?
Having captured 30 mins (a full tape) of DVCPro50 material, I notice there is no dv start/stop detection present from which FCP can make clip markers. Is there no inherent start/stop signal in the DVCPro50 recording on the tape?

Unfortunately not, it’s deemed a consumer feature.

Well, I can see a number of professional uses for it!
Too bad, it’s really convenient feature on documentaries for instance, like when you’ve got 100 tapes and need to log each shot quickly.Any idea what gets recorded to the memory chip in the tape housing? (provided there is one of course)

The Panasonic cameras, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 and even the DVX100/A can put Time data into the UserBits. This is a camera function and not a format function. The metadata is selectable, if you wish time info to be recorded in the user bits area of the metadata, there should be a menu choice for this. But has anyone practical experience of doing this?

This is what interns and assistant editors are for.
