I used to pre-stripe tapes but that was in the bad old days of building a program with a million insert edits.

Now I do what Walter does. Write the first several seconds of tape to establish a starting time code, then assemble edit the program onto the tape.

We’re the same too, just usually stripe from 09:58:45:00 to 09:59:10:00 to give us enough for our usual 09:59:00:00 start.
