Hi Paul -
I agree that a change like this with
potentially devastaing consequences should have received a BIG notice in the
update literature. People have been used to live mode not overwriting
previously captured clips, and for it to suddenly start overwriting would
be a big shock.
That being said, it is a feature many people in the
past have requested. Mostly, I believe, by people who've had to capture live due
to time code burps in their tapes and then want to be able to go back and
recapture.
And, a problem easy enough to correct, as long as
you're aware of it, by selecting manual reels (I think that's right - I'm in the
process of converting from 6.0 to 7.6 right now) to allow for duplicate
timecodes from the same reel.
Maybe they can add a big warning when you go to
digitize in live mode without manual reels selected that you may be wiping out
previously captured material?

If you can't recapture live material, who bothered
to change it?
This new feature messes things up, and fixes nothing that I
can tell.
Twice already I've lost scratch tracks by doing pickup lines
because of this "fix."
