One issue to be aware of (we all know mr Murphy don't we??)
If you are putting the time code on an audio track and editing
the video on a PC later, be aware a number of people in the
video editing world have discovered slow drift problems between
the video and audio (using the audio board to capture the audio).
The most common problem has been loss of sync between
speech and lip movement and you didn't say how critical your
timing was. Just thought I would mention it.
