Hi!
Since getting Final Cut Express, I've become aware of the importance of striping tape so that time code be continuous on it.
But I have quite a few miniDV tapes (for my Canon ZR40) that have not been striped before recording and so, the time code on them is all in bits and pieces, if I may say.
Would I lose quality if I transfered what's on those tapes to Final Cut Express, striped a new tape and then re-transfered the video back on that tape for later use?
This would allow me to put together all videos of particular events on one tape, making future transfers and editing a lot easier.
Thank you for your help!
