[MacDV] Breaking DVD Film Up Into Clips

[TUCKER ian]

I forwarded the the following message last evening:-


I am currently re-editing some old analogue VHS tapes of holidays.     
I am doing this by playing the VHS tapes in a VCR and recording them  
onto DVD's in our lounge room DVD player/recorder.  Following this, I  
am playing the DVD disc in my Mac. and recording it in FCP (latest  
edition).   Because there is no time code I am having to physically  
break the film up into clips either by the Blade tool, or using the in  
and out keys.

Is there any process I can use that will break the imported film into  
individual clips?   I know this is a long shot, but just maybe.......?

I appreciate the various responses, but somehow the subject matter has  
seemed to have wandered off track.

I have a Sony  HDR-HCV video camera which will not allow analogue  
input/digital output through to the computer.

Awhile back I purchased an Elgato Eye TV package which allows my S-VCR  
to be connected to  my computer  via a loom and box with s-Video and  
audio cables.   However I found this process rather cumbersome and the  
result was not too smart.

I resorted to my current process and I have been pleased with the  the  
results.

My problem is the splitting of the film into clips once I have  
captured it on the computer.   I will have a look at MPEG-Streamclip  
as suggested by sb.

Thanks .
