How to stamp DateCode on DV files...

[FatBoy123]

Hello and thank you in advance for your help.

I have a direct DV file captured from my MiniDV camcorder using WinDV, it's 13GB and plays nicely in all players, my system is Win 7 64bit. I used to use DvDate before but now it's giving me this message:


Video not available. The file xxx seems not to be a correct AVI file.

Is anything missing? is there a better way to embed the date-code on to a DV file for free?

Sincerely yours.

Shyrah.

Try some other tools and see if they find the datecode, DV Sub Maker, dv_datecode, etc.

Baldrick, thank you very much for your answer, however both those progrmas make a srt file and do not EMBED the dare into the video like DvDate does.

I searched around and found another user with the same problem and he solved it by following this advice below which I do not understand at all:

"It's Haali splitter. Needs to deselect AVI "

Do you have any ideal what this means?

Thanks again.

[Baldrick]

Do you have haali media splitter installed? Then you could try uninstall it. Or reinstall it and disable avi in the configuration.

Thanks again Baldrick, I uninstalled it and still no use, But I've managed to solve the problem by transferring the video to another PC with a 32 bit win 7 and the DVDate program worked perfectly, so I guess it's just not working in 64 bit win 7.

I appreciate your time.
