First link all the audio clips together so they’re one item, select them and use Cmd-L. Open them into the Viewer. Zoom into the waveform and holding the Shift key scrub to the beginning of the audio. Release the mouse and then the shift key. Press I to mark the In point.

All the best,

Tom

I don’t believe 4.5 is suitable for either format. I don’t remember exactly, but I didn’t think P2 support came out until 5.0. Equally unsure about JVC HDV support. v4.5 is now a couple of years old I think.

All the best,

iDVD does not support anamorphic material, only native widescreen material.

You need Anamorphicizer or myDVDedit to fix this problem.

I’m seeing the same behavior.

I know many, many people who capture entire tapes, or at least long sections of tape. It’s a very common workflow with DV and/or offline material.

Start/stop detect with DV25 material only works post capture, not during capture.

I don’t understand the STP part. if you take a whole FCP project into STP it’s a multitrack project and has nothing to do with destructive or non-destructive. If you take long clips into STP and edit an audio project file non-destructively you have the advantage of being able to apply a filter to the entire track, affecting all of the material for that media file and not have to do it on a clip by clip basis. That can be useful, or it can be a pain, depending on what you want to do.
