Well, you can sit and pre-stripe all your tapes if you want to. IMHO,
it's just wasier to roll a little extra and then, when reusing a tape, or
continuing, roll back over some of that "extra" and then continue recording.
It's a lot simpler, takes less time and saves a pass on the cassette.

Actually, most Hi8 and 8mm camcorders (including consumer) record RC
time code on the cassettes. Almost every single DV camcorder (including
consumer) makes use of the time code part of the spec and writes it to tape.
This way, the scream at 43:02:12 is _always_ at 43:02:12. it doesn't change
numbers when you eject the cassette and put it back in.
