I have a JVC Everio HD camcorder model no. GZ-HM445 I film in 1280x720 res. then use HDMI cable to watch on tv after setting "DISPLAY ON TV" to OFF so the date date does not appear on screen, but when I upload video to Everio Media Browser (software that is built in to camera) then play clip on pc. the date time is not there but when I convert to 640x360 to enable me to burn to DVD using Nero the date time is back on clip. Also when I use Pinnacle 11 to edit film and then burn to DVD it is there.
I have also tried to use Freemake software to convert 1280x720 files to 720x576 DVD quality WMV file, no luck.
I have spoken to JVC dealer tech. dept. but they cannot help much just saying that if you use HDMI and USB it will but using AV cable the time date will not show, I asked why design an HD camera when you have to use AV connection!!
There must be a way of removing time date display after importing video to a PC.
Any help would be appreciated as I have a film of visit to Liverpool with time date showing, we are off to Italy on the 18th I really would like to create a film of the trip without it showing on finished film. The on line instructions do not help at all.
Thank you

You're using a PC to edit your JVC footage so have you tried simply pulling the hi-def files into Windows Movie Maker? That should allow you to edit the footage and choose to output to DVD, but then your Pinnacle 11 should be managing that too, and all without the date and time showing.

It may have something to do with using JVC's media browser - can you avoid that and simply use the camera as a card-reader and feed the footage into a folder on your pc using USB? Does the instruction book have anything to say about this?

I'm pretty sure that you can download the Liverpool footage to your HDD, then safely erase the cards for your Italian trip. As you say, JVC won't have made a £190 40x zoom camcorder that won't allow you to make perfectly good DVDs from.
