#PVR Use & ?'s

OK,… I've got my PVR and it all seems to work fine, now I have some questions for the more experienced users of the PVR or the PAR. Since there is no machine control, there is no way to accurately put a .ANI file to a tape. What have others done in this situation if you wanted first generation files on the master edit? This assumes I would have online & online segments in the same EDL. In a related question, I have not received my new 4.0a Premiere yet but tech support at DPS says that you cannot use the Premiere capture routine with the PVR. This is disappointing since I was hoping I could use the deck control feature to get accurate SMPTE timecodes on the captured file. When capturing video, does everyone just kind of eyeball the in/out points, and later trim them in Premiere or Razor Pro? Does anyone know if the Razor pro can do deck control and accurate captures with the PVR? I've loaded a few frames from 3DS and it appears the gamma setting are not correct. I have been using 1.8 for output to my Targa+ but the images are much brighter on the PVR. Has anybody figured out the correct gamma value for the PVR yet? Thanks for any suggestions or insights, Tom
