An offline network printer, set as the default, was the culprit. I deleted the offending printer, and all is well.

I suspect it’s more a problem with the TV monitor doing the decoding rather than the DVD itself. If you can, using the same disc, try swapping players and monitors to see if there’s some sort of pattern: Brand X monitor decodes better than Brand Y… DVD player Q works better than DVD player Z.

Okay, new thing. I now notice that the TC mode with some of the clips was not correctly logged under “autodect,” so your advice about manually setting the deck was correct. But do this before you log…
Many thanks.

No. Manually setting tc mode gave the same results.
I didn’t have this problem with edit* …. but that was another life.

The TC mode for the deck is indeed set to “autodetect.” I will see if a manual setting solves the problem. What a hassle if that’s true.
My observation is that the deck is shuttling so fast that it can’t find the code.
The workaround is to park the clip a few seconds before the in point then select “batch capture” for that one clip. Again, a real pain.
Many thanks for your help.Mike Brown

We’ve used the Marantz PMD 670 for 2 years with no problems:
But you may want to consider….

Never mind my previous post. Bad info.

The recorded signal is still 29.97 NTSC, so it will work just fine. Think of it as a film transfer. Timecode will be drop- or non-drop as you set it.

Assuming your TV/monitor has a CC decoder, it should work just fine with component Y-Pb-Pr and S-video.
I am curious as well about how scc files are interpreted by the DVD player. I also note that DVD, DV, and DVR recorders capture & reproduce line 21 data. I thought line 21 was outside the DV & DVD specs (hence the need for the scc file for authoring).
