I’ve only used batch capture and cliplog with mu old DV Canon GL1, and I had to record all the way through with each new tape to put timecode on it. Normally with the lens cap on and in a quiet room. Then I could rewind it and capture to tape as normal but the original linear timecode remained on the tape. Batch capture needs this timecode in order for it to work. I use a BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle to capture from my HDV camera but straight from the imager without tape. I capture as BlackMagic Motion JPEG avi and bypass the m2t compression. It has a much better quality than m2t, no mpeg compression artifacts. Once it’s captured to tape, it’s already compressed as m2t and I may as well capture via firewire, and could probably take advantage of the batch capture ability, although I never did this with my HDV camera.
