Problem: When capturing video from my canon elura
digital camcorder, I do not see the date and time
displayed on the captured video. When I copy the video to
VHS and use the RCA or SVHS ports, I see the date and
time displayed.
Any ideas? Solutions?

On a DV tape time&date (and more) are on the tape though not visible. If you
like to show it you can always use your camcorder RC and press someting like
"Date/Time" button; this will show the date/time onscreen and will be
recorded while you capture.
Alternativly you could also use title overlays to make your own date/time
impressions visible

Apparently, when capturing through firewire, displaying the data code on the
camera does not make it appear in the captured clip. Firewire capture is
more like file transfer, not analog "capture".

The downloaded AVI-DV has the datacode information in each frame but you
cannot see it. Supposedly, the film editing software will have to have a way
of making it visible when you want it .

That's what I found out from Canon...basically they told
me to contact the software maker.
