I have a very similar problem to Brian Wells’s, and I have been struggling to find the correct answer.

Indeed, following Edward Troxel’s instructions, from either the Explorer Tab or the Media Manager, when I examine the properties of the file, There are three apparent date codes:

Created:
Modified:
Accessed:

For Quicktime .MOV files generated by firewire capture using iMovie HD on a MacBook Pro, the CLIP INFO accurately reflects the camera’s DATE/TIME stamp recorded to tape (regardless of camera brand). When I view the properties of these same exact files on the PC, I can see that Mac stores the camera’s DATE/TIME stamp information in the MODIFIED field, while the CREATED field is the date the .MOV file was generated during the firewire capture process.

However, for those .M2T files captured by Sony Vegas’s Capture video tool, this information is NOT apparent. The CREATED and MODIFIED fields yield the same (approximate) information: the date the .M2T file was generated on the PC’s hard drive during the Firewire capture.

What I do not know is: is this a bug with the Sony Vegas video capture “m2tsplug.dll”, is this a design oversight, or am I doing something wrong?
