See the opening post in this thread - there's something called DVFileDateCM.

Yeah, but I think it only shows time and date. The cool thing about the Enosoft app and others is that they'll show all kinds of information like f-stop, shutter speed, white balance settings etc. That's the info I'm after.

Thanks

I've found a couple other programs that do some/all of these things:

AVI Data Analyzer
http://www.geocities.com/edward_gelzin/index.htm

This is freeware and is a couple years old, but shows all kinds of DV clip info.

CatDV
http://www.squarebox.co.uk/

This program does more than just show info, and I wasn't 100% sure it would show the info I want, but there's a screenshot that seems to indicate it does show shutter speed, exposure settings and more.

Metadata Hootenanny

I don't know all the kinds of metadata this program works with, but I thought I'd mention it

John Miller's Enosoft components deserve a serious look. You get the codec controls and he has some live capture stuff you might be interested.

Excellent, just ran a quick google search hoping for some software to help me find the exact time my footage had been shot without trawling through all my tapes again, this one works a treat!

Thanks :)
