sony dcr trv 310e and i-Link date export / import problem?

I have DCR-TRV-310E sony Digital 8 camcorder. I want to transfer the videos from this camcorder to computer using i-link. The video is imported into the computer, but without the actual date and time on which we shoot the video. How do i get the date and time as well? This happens for both Hi8 and Digital-8 cassettes.

If I use the *** AV cables *** to transfer the video into VCR, i **do** get the date and time, but NOT when using i-link to download into computer.

I tried both Windows XP professional and Windows Vista 32 bit home premium edition. I tried Ulead, Windows movie maker, without success. Any idea?

When you output via the AV cables you’re getting a signal that’s been processed by the camcorder – if you’ve told the camcorder to display the date, that’s what’ll be output. When you use i-link you’re getting a straight copy of what’s on the tape. The date / time stamp is embedded in the DV stream but it’s NOT displayed. To do that you’ll need to process it. Strangely, it’s not a feature that’s included in video editors – try using DV Date instead. It should work for the Digital8 footage, but I’ve no idea what’ll happen with Hi8!
