Transfer Video With Date Stamp Onto Pc

I transferred the video onto my pc with great difficulty. I exported it to moviemaker on pc. The video lost the date stamp that was on it when I recorded it. I need to have the original date stamp on my video. Is there a way to recover it? If not, how do I make sure I can do it for the next video?

Sorry but this camcorder doesn't appear to support adding a date/time stamp to the video. What you saw was just the camcorder display showing the date and time over the video. You would have to add the date and time manually using editing software (like Movie Maker) on your PC.
