HDV definitely records timing information along with other metadata,
but I don't know the specifics. I do know some people have
pre-striped HDV tape before using it, but I don't think it helps with
the "stop, tape out, back in, start again" issue. I don't know for
sure, though, because I've never tried it and simply relied on
capture through On Location which was a simple and easy solution. I
suspect there may be other cheap or free software that can capture
HDV through Firewire to disk.
The one sure way I found to avoid audio sync problems with HDV tape
capture in Premiere is to never take your tape out of the camcorder
while shooting and to never rewind to shoot over already shot tape.
Maybe it's an issue with the camera model as well. All I know is that
it's a commonly known problem. You'll find lots of people agonizing
over it in different Premiere lists. I didn't know that the problem
persisted into CS5.5.
