Extracting Datecode from mpg - Sony DCR-SR300

[stretchz]

Hey all - I have always used mini DV but just got a Sony DCR-SR300 Hard Drive mpg camera. I want to create subtitles with the time and date on the DVDs that I create but cannot find a way to extract the datacode off of the mpgs from the camera. It was really easy with the DV files, but I cant find a program that does it for these mpgs. I know this camera puts a date and time code on the files but I dont know how to extract it from the file.

Please help.

This is not really a DVD authoring issue so the DV / HDV and other camcorders forum works fine. Moving you.

I have no idea how the time code is stored...maybe as dvd subtitles? Does it record in vob,ifo,bup files or?

No problem on the move. The camera records directly to mpeg 2 files. While playing them back on the camera I can turn the timecode on and off.
