Sony TRV30 and data code display

[Gordon B. Alley]

It has been my experience (with a Canon ZR 40) that the data code 
will remain intact in the exported movie except in those scenes that 
were re-rendered by iMovie (eg., where effects and some types of 
transitions were used).

Other than those exceptions, when I play the edited movie in the 
camcorder, the date/time will be displayed when appropriate (when I 
press the data code button, or for a few seconds when a scene changes 
if the camcorder is configured to do so).
