This IS the Avid L2: Re: [Avid-L2] Re: OT Capture tapes with discontinuous timecode

Ltc will do the trick, but you need to subclip as avid cant find breaks (my aux tc reader can btw)

But i fail to see why a few files is more practical than a couple of files...

Zip the whole shebang and you have one file

They are multicam recordings so we were trying to keep them in sync.. as there are no other sync markers so without source timecode we are stuck.

I suspect it's just not possible

Why bother?
Most file wrappers only hold a start timecode value so if you did capture discontinuous TC at the first TC jump ot would be wrong with the fike timecode.
You'll never go back to the tapes so just make fresh TC for the files.
The Avid capture across timecode breaks is misleading as it doesn't it just stops and restarts tge capture after the break resulting in seperate clips and files. And it does that because capturing across a TC break would give a single clip that couldn't be conformed back to tape.
