As was mentioned as an option earlier, I would go with dubbing the tape 
via firewire to another camera and using that tape. That tape will not 
have the gap in the timecode. And as was also mentioned, Try to not let 
the gaps happen. If you really need to review what you've just shot, or 
if you really need to take the tape out and put it back again, be sure 
to give yourself plenty of extra footage at the end of shots, so that 
it'll be easy to find a place to shoot over and preserve your code.

Pretty sure it will. It seems to be only the high end features left 
out. Kind of like getting Photoshop Elements instead of the full 
package. Most non-pros won't miss a thing.
