Hi all,

Short question:

How can I get the recordDate (ie date that the clip was first recorded  
on a video camera) from a DV video clip?


More detail:

I have a pile of DV video clips. When I open them in iMovie HD 6 or  
CatDV, they can show the recorded date. But I can't see anyway to see  
the recorded date in QuickTime player or the System Events AppleScript  
dictionary, or the Image Events AppleScript dictionary, or any other  
way to extract the recordDate programatically.

The Finder's creation date is a different date since iMovie somewhere  
along the way has set it to the date that the footage was dumped from  
camera to disk or when the clip was split etc.

My main purpose in doing this is so I can correct the date that iMovie  
08 uses for the clips since importing older projects ignores the  
recorded date and instead uses the (incorrect) creation date.

Thanks,
Tom
