Greetings, I have the above mentioned Sony camcorder. When I review the recorded video, the time and date are shown...no problem. But when I turn the same video into a DVD, the time and date are recorded on the DVD! Big problem!
How do I prevent the time and date to be 'stamped' on the disc? I've tried going to the Sony website, but with no success. And the manual does not address this "problem".
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

Evidently you have the camera set to make the time and date a part of the video. Check the manual for a camera option to eliminate the time/date when recording.
There is no way to eliminate it once the video file has been created.

"There is no way to eliminate it once the video file has been created."

Actually, there are a couple of ways.

The easiest for the average PC user, would entail an intermediate encoding step, in which the video is rendered out as an image sequence (Tiff, Targa, PNG, etc). Take this series of images into Photoshop and use the clone brush tool to remove the time-stamp. Of course, this will be a long, slow process, because you'll have one image for every frame of video. If you're in NTSC-land, that equates to 30 (or maybe 60, depending how it was shot) images per second of footage. That's 108000 (or 216000) images per hour of footage. Then the image sequence needs to be re-encoded to a suitable codec for the final product.

But then, it'd only take a minute or two to read the cameras manual.
