From what I remember, you are able to disable the scene-splitting in FCP.
Don't know about iMovie.
What Avid did was: with "capture across timecode break" enabled, it saw the
timecode break, stopped the capture, rewound the tape a bit, and then
continued the capture. But the in-point shifted further all the time, so in
the beginning you would still see the slate, but further down the capture,
the restart would be after the slate. A very odd shift.
With the "capture across timecode break" disabled, the capture would stop
with an error message saying the timecode was broken.
The same thing happened on FCP. Now the only thing in common between the
software is it's version number (both v 5.x), but the other common thing is
the camera, so I suspect the camera.
Note: we haven't tried to capture with iMovie or other software on FCP,
which could have solved the problem to be able to do the edit in FCP. Well,
FCP was shifted "out of sight" because in the end we will grade the edit on
an Avid Symphony, so it's just better to do the edit on an Avid-system
anyway.

That's why I did an edit on it a while ago, and noticed it's robustness,
and can definetly recommend it to people who like an easy to use interface
(well the "standard" for easy is usually Pinnacle Studio, but that is a
risk to install and use, imho).
