Capture entire DV tape without breaks

Equipment:
Adobe Premiere Pro 7.0
Sony DCR-TRV25 NTSC
WinXP Pro SP2

I'm trying to capture the entire length of my DV tape but Premiere
always breaks it into clips. I don't want to have to wait at my PC and
name each and every clip. I only want to capture the entire source and
edit it at a later time.

Is there any way to force Premiere to capture the *entire* tape in one
operation?

(If Microsoft's Movie Maker can do it, I don't see why Premiere
shouldn't be able to.)

I'm new to Premiere Pro 7.0; but on my first project, I captured over 30
min. of DV, from Sony DCR-TRV20 NTSC, with no breaks. In the capture
window, make sure that under settings, "Abort capture on dropped frames" is
unchecked and under Logging, "scene detect" is unchecked.

Which version of premiere are you using?
There should be the option when you enter capture to capture tape.
This will capture the entire tape (as long as there are no problems
with the timecode)

You should use Premiere Pro.
It allows for full tape capturing, you have to UNSELECT the scene detection
box in the capture window though.
However if you leave it on and give the first clip the name clip 01,
Premiere captures all other scenes and name them scene2, 3, 4etc

My best "friend" in capturing however is stil Scenalyzer.
That is a superprogram which helps you to capture exactly to your needs.
It still costs aomething like a 35$ I think, but it payed me back long time
ago already

And in case you are wondering..... I have nothing to do with that company, I
just like their program :-)

Regards,
Peter
