On thing that I always loved about Avid's capture is that in those cases where the tape has been cued past end of timecode (seems to be very often in online, when the tape was just totally sucked in start to finish for offline) that I can flick the deck to local when I can see what's happening and cue the deck back into timecode and then put it back in remote and Avid picks it up without freaking out or aborting. In FCP doing this completely freaks the capture out, and I actually have to completely abort the capture process and come right back in before it will be happy again. With time of day code I always tend to do batch capture with a pretty short (1-2 sec) preroll anyway. Modern decks tend to have no hassle with it.
