Hello there, I've just purchased this Panasonic VDRD100B DVD camcorder. The online description says it has the date superimposed on the recording. The manual says "The recording time is not displayed in playback mode". And, apparently, you can see the date and time in the viefinder but you cannot see these on the recorderd films.
Does enybody here have any ideas as far as putting a date on a film is concerned? Is there anything wrong with my camcorder?
Is it a general question of DVD format not putting the date on? The previous analogue Sony camcorder I had had for 7 years had no problems displaying the date in the recorded materials...
When you transfer digital video over firewire, the date and time is not shown on the resulting file on your PC. Although I do not have personal experience using DVD camcorders, it looks like something similar is going on for material that is finalised onto the DVD.
