Rec date and Rec time Custom Formats
This is a list of the '%' fomat codes supported by the Custom rec date and
Custom rec
time edit boxes in the Burn-in Appearance options page of DVMP Pro. Both edit boxes
accept all of these format codes.
You can use these format codes to date/time stamp your AVCHD, HDV and DV video
using the exact date an time format of your chosing. Multiple langauges are
supported for the date and time formats, so for example the day and month names
will appear in the chosen Rec date/time locale using the appropriate
