[HakiPro]

Greetings, I'm using a handycam called Handycam HDR-TG7VE. So I wanted to ask that how to put a date into the video while recording? I have an example video, that don't have a date.

Hi HakiPro and welcome.

Date and Time are not displayed during recording but the information is saved to the recording media and can be displayed during playback: -

What Video Editing Software do you use?  Most software will allow you to add the date and time stamp to the finished video as an overlay.

If your video editor does not have this feature, you can get a free trial download of VisualDV Time Stamp here: -

Well... I use Honestech VHS to DVD software, but I think it's not really good, so I will download your recomended program. I will ask you more, if there is something problem.

Ok. I have another problem. You know when I transfer video files from my handycam to the PC. When I transfered, then watching videos, but they don't have date on it. I opened with Windows Media Player and VLC Media Player, but just not appear the date. Do you know how can I enable date, when watching video files on PC?

I can only see the date on the handycam.
