You're right, MD units and not meant to be "slaves", but there are easy
turnaround solutions around this, such as transferring the time-code &
audio track to a slaveable multi-track machine and then using the time code
track on that machine to follow the video. There is probably a way to
import Time Code into DAWs as well I am sure.
If only for video work, you can also simply dumb the MD's Time Code & audio
to a video tape's TC & audio tracks and then simply sync them up with an
editor...
