Which consumer DVD authoring software can produce DVD showing date/time encoded on DV tape?

Question

The DV tape has timecode in it which shows date/time video is taken.

Which consumer level DVD authoring software can produce DVD where

these date/time are shown on the DVD video? I know that there are

some solutions such as: http://www.skydiver.de/stef/datecode_en.htm

but it requires more complicated steps. I would like a software that

can automatically do so when producing the DVD.

Thanks.

Answer 1

time code is generated from the camera itself and is not generally available for an edit. the only suggestion would be to fake a t/c and make it yourself in the edit suite. it's pretty easy to do and no one would know the difference.

Answer 2

None that I'm aware of.  You'll need to pre-process your video clips with something like DVDate (freeware!) which will add the date / time info to the clips as a visible bar before you edit them.    There are other, commercial, apps that do the same thing.
