Missing scene detection for capture

I have tried capture using scene detect for the first time. I am confused about one thing however. My video has been broken up into individual clips as expected. What I am finding is that some of the longer clips actually contain 2 or 3 clips that don't seem to have been detected. Since all the clips came from one tape which obviously had time code on it how did these scenes miss out been detected?

Scene detection is based on the date/time the video was recorded. When there is a jump in the date/time, a new scene is started. Could those sections have been recorded on a camera whose clock was not set?

The tape isn't the original. However all of the events on the video were shot on & off over a period of 2 days. I'm mainly curious as to why this didn't work 100%. If I get some time I will open the same video in another program & if the results are the same then I will know that the problem is the tape even though I can't imagine just what went wrong.

You can set the minimum clip time in the preference, can it be that the missed clips are less than then the minimum time.

How did you copy the tape? You may have written a steady date/time during the copy since the entire tape was recorded non-stop.

I have the mimimum time for scene detect set to 1 second. The tape was copied a few years ago. Something must be wrong with the tape but I'cant think what it might be. The odd scene doesn't seem to have the audio & video in sync but this won't be a problem with this tape. What is strange however is that I opened 2 of the AVI file VV created in Studio 8 & these were broken down into 2 & 3 smaller clips. In any event I don't think I will ever know what was wrong with the tape in question.
