I was wondering if there was a software or easy method to automatically or semi-automatically create and update a database for all the capture logs on a video. It would make my life a bit easier if there was some streamlined method of logging all my tapes into one database, and of course have a simple tool that would be able to print out the logs and stick them on my tapes. I hate having to manually write and number the tapes myself. Any good software or tips for this? Do they actually sell miniDV or DVCAM sheet labels?

I believe you can save your logging info in Final Cut Pro as a SimpleText document which you could then import to a database or spreadsheet. I know you can do it the other way around--save the log and capture info as a tab-delimited text document and import it to FCP.

Never having done this before, I can't say if it's "streamlined" or "simple"
