On my DSR 25 there's a dub function which copies everything exactly thru the
firewire, including timecode. If you don't have that facility, why not
capture the whole tape to Premiere (if there is no timecode breaks) then
line up by adding black at the start so the timecode on the timeline matches
the timecode on the original tape, then if your deck can be controlled from
Premiere, do an export to tape and you end up with a duplicate. You can then
edit from the master capture.
BTW I've done a few re-captures from projects and they have always come out
fine (as long as the hard drive you are capturing to is media fast enough)

Subject: miniDV exact tape duplication
Hi, all,
I've been considering different backup schemes for Adobe Premiere projects,
and one that appeals to me quite a bit is simply saving the project without
the clips, then using batch capture to recapture them all from tape if
necessary. There's one major problem with this: I don't trust the integrity
of miniDV tapes, and want to duplicate them once or perhaps twice. Not hard
to do, but there's one major problem with this as well:
The video on a duplicate tape doesn't exactly match the timing line-up on
the original tape. In other words, a scene that starts at 1:02:12 on the
original tape might be shifted on the duplicate tape so it starts at
1:05:03. That's a problem if I try to use batch capture from Premiere to
capture clips from the duplicated tape. Everything's shifted by a few
seconds on the tape, so all the capture clips are shifted as well and don't
line up the way they should.
Does anyone know a way to duplicate miniDV tapes *exactly* so the time
codes match in the duplicates?
Thanks,
Mike Boom
