They are, yes.

What happens if the in / out points aren't correct, do you have to
confirm them pre capture or would you have to re-capture ?

I'm not sure what you mean by correct in this context.

A file is created for each clip. Each clip contains the complete contents
of my recording from when I started to when I stopped.

There are no in/out points set within the clip at that stage, so your next
point sort of holds true...

Assuming that the only part you require _isn't just a_ small section of
that scene...

I see where you're going, but it doesn't really matter in these days with
huge discs going cheap.

I can shuffle over a 20 minute clip in seconds to get to my desired in and
out points, and then mark them accordingly. If that's only 1 minute long,
then yes, I've wasted 19 minutes of disc, and capture time. However, the
reality (for me at least) is that nearly all my clips are less than 5
mins, and most are probably less than 2 mins.

If people haven't done c/. then d/. tends to follow - if you're going

Perhaps... depends on the NLE I suppose.

to do c/. then why not log and pre-plan the edit and what you need ?

I find it quicker on the PC. I can scrub through hours of footage in a
very short amount of time, which I can't if it's on tape.

I can see your point of view Jerry, but it just doesn't work for me and by
the sounds of it, nor others. Maybe it's an amatuer toy, but if it helps
us do the job more efficiently then it can't be wrong. I think it could
work for pros as well, but I only know a couple and I've never had this
conversation, yet.
