I don't use FCP6 yet, and normally capture clips separately. But, you can do what you want according to the manual (downloadable from Support at apple.com) in the following way:
"Automatically Creating Subclips Using DV Start/Stop Detection
If you are using a DV format (DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50, or DVCPRO HD), you may be able to create subclips automatically from start/stop metadata that is embedded in video frames each time you stop and start the camcorder. This DV start/stop metadata is captured and stored in the media file. Final Cut Pro can identify the location of each start/stop marker (sometimes referred to as an embedded flag) to automatically place markers in a clip. These markers can then be used to create subclips. Note: DV start/stop metadata is not timecode. It is independent time-of-day metadata recorded within the video data of your footage. When the time-of-day information jumps dramatically from one shot to the next, Final Cut Pro recognizes that the shot has changed and can place a marker at that point in the clip.
To break a long DV clip into subclips based on starts and stops:
1 Capture a long clip from a DV tape containing several starts and stops. Note: If you’re capturing the contents of an entire DV tape, make sure that the “On timecode break” pop-up menu in the General tab of the User Preferences window is set to Make New Clip, to ensure that no timecode breaks are captured. For more information, see Volume IV, Chapter 23, “Choosing Settings and Preferences.”
2 Do one of the following: A Select the clip in the Browser. B Open the clip in the Viewer.
3 With the Viewer active, choose Mark > DV Start/Stop Detect.
Note: If you have any exceptionally long clips, you can break these up further by adding a few more markers manually. For more information, see Volume II, Chapter 4, “Using Markers.”
4 Switch the Browser to list view and locate the clip you were working on in the Viewer. For more information, see “Choosing Views in the Browser” on page 61.
5 Click the disclosure triangle to view the clip’s markers.
6 Drag in the Browser to select all the markers.
7 Choose Modify > Make Subclip. Note: If you gave your markers new names, your subclips will use them.
The subclips appear in addition to the original clip with the markers. You can rename the subclips, if you want. You can review the subclips, deleting any clips you might not need. If you do remove unused clips, you can use the Media Manager to remove your unused footage from disk, leaving the media for your remaining subclips alone."
