Breaks in audio continuity

I'm using VV3's capture facility to capture some clips from a DV tape that contains a completed movie, including a music audio track.
VV3 makes a reasonable fist of breaking up the movie into its component scenes, presumably by using 'optical' detection, since the movie was exported (from Premiere) in one continuous time code.
However, if the clips (events!) are arranged on the timeline in the order they were captured, there is a small, split-second break in the audio between scenes. It's as if a few frames have been lost between each event. It isn't noticeable on the video track, but it is on the audio.
Neither Premiere nor MovieFactory exhibits this problem capturing on the same hardware and from the same source.
Is there some setting or whatever that I should be looking at? As it stands, VV3's capture is not usable.

Are your drives FAT32? There shouldn't be any segmenting at all with NTFS-formatted drives.

No, it's nothing to do with drives (they're big, fast NTFS things anyway).
The source material had some very short clips - less than the two second default limit at which VV3 ignores them. As a new fellow, I wasn't aware of this function.
Once I'd cleared the checkbox, so that all clips, whatever their duration, were captured, the problem disappeared.
Sorry if I wasted yours or anyone else's time.
