Unless you are not going to reconform your material, when capturing your footage during offline, wait at least three seconds after a time code break before starting to capture. The reason for this is that during the reconform process the deck will have to perform a preroll, and if the preroll goes over a time code break, this will cause the process to fail.
If you cannot possibly live without using the material contained within those three seconds, there are ways to get these shots into the online, but as they range from eye-matching pictures to copying material onto another tape, it can be costly and time-consuming.
