But your video may contain clips with many different dates and times and composites of those as well. What value would you assign as the date and time to a frame during a fade between two clips taken at different dates and times?

OK, I can understand that it can be an issue when you do some editing, but all I did was cut a few scenes, and then rendered the rest, and there was no actual "rendering", just exporting, and yet the Date/Time code was changed.

Anyway, assuming Vegas allways changes the Date/Time code, it is then lost forever, and unless one makes a record of it, prior to rendering, there can be no way to retrieve it again. This is quite a problem for me, as I often need to display a label that states the date and time the video was taken.

As farss said, there isn't any automatic way to know what date to include when the video is a composite of many different tracks. However, as an advanced feature someday, it would be nice to either specify a date and starting time for the entire project, and have that rendered into the final DV AVI file, or else specify a track from which the date/time code would be extracted and used in the final render.
