I figured it out. It turns out it wasn’t so simple as just turnning the camera. I had to manually switch off AV to DV on my camcorder. At least that’s what I think worked. Of course when I tried to do it “wrong” on purpose to see whether that was the problem, it worked without my switching it. But then I manually put AV to DV on and tried, and it didn’t work, which is to say what I was trying to do in that moment worked.
It’s all so simple. -
I swear on Jesus’ sweet and holy name I have done those very things. It looks like it might be recording. The camera is running and it says “REC” in red on the view screeen, but I still get nothing.
Tell me this, should I be able to see what’s being recorded on the camera’s view screen while the project is being recorded? -
Is “dec control” something in FCE, or something on the camera?

Just to be clear: whenyou say “go over” the last second or two of the previous take, you mean film over it, right? I seem to recall the first time I had this problem I did exactly what you described. There was a little blank space between takes and that’s where (I think) the problem arose.

The clip I’m trying to get is very short and between the breaks. But I’ll play with it. But I guess my larger question is whehter this is a problem that arises so frequently that I should just assume it is going to happen on a regular basis. That’s what seems to be the case now. And if that is true, do all versions of FCE do it? Does FCPro do it?
Another question is whether there is something I can do to avoid the breaks in the first place. Is there something about starting and stopping the camcorder in certain ways that causes this to happen?
