Hi, how can I get the date and time when the video was recorded from my dv camcorder? Can this be done using directshow? or is there any other way?

Currently I can only get the timecode w/c is the running time from the start of the video but not the date and time when the video was taken as seen in the camcorder's display window. I have looked thru directshow's documentation and have so far failed in extracting the date and time.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
