VV3 Capture sets timecode to 22:26:26;18

When I capture a clip from the very beginning of a DV tape with Vegas Video
3.0b, it sets the timecode of the clip to 22:26:26;18!?!

The obvious workaround is not to start shooting right at the beginning of
the tape... But does anyone have any insight into what's happening?

Camera == Canon ZR25 MC
FireWire card == Dazzle

Thanks

Right on, good tip for others. At that early on the tape, the device isn't laying down "good" timecode.

A good policy is to "stripe" your tape prior to recording any footage, and then start recording around 30 seconds. I actually start recording around 1 min, so that there is no chance of any issues come Batch Capture/Recapture time.
