Auto Scene detection not working with converted VHS-C tapes

[navatweb]

I used a JVC VHS-C camcorder and an Canon Optura PI digicam to convert an old VHS-C tape to a miniDV tape. I used an S-video-out
from the JVC to Canon's S-Video-in.

I then captured the miniDV using Pinnacle Studio 7. The Studio does not recognize any scenes. It tells me that the whole tape is just one big scene.
I suspect that some time code info is missing on the converted tapes.

I had used another analog camcorder earlier, with the same digicam, and had the scene detection working. So I suspect there is some kind of setting on the JVC camcorder that is missing. Or may be I need to "stripe" the miniDV tapes, that is record on them, before using them?

Maybe off the wall, but with the cap program from my old Pinnacle card, I learned you could turn off scene detection, so as not to have a thousand clips to drag and drop when editing, just cap as one large movie,

Possibly, the program somehow defaults to that when you use that camera. Or, it was inadvertently set to that mode.
