Might be , might not be.
Truth is all this logging and looking at the tapes over and over and 
batch capture and
logging decisions are a major pain, big loss of time and a holdover 
from the time when 9 gig drives cost 1100$. With hundreds of gigabytes 
to spare, do your project and then maybe line up the originals of all 
the clips you actually used and run them out to a DV tape. EAsier, 
quicker, easier on your playback unit.
