Thanks again Gavino. Now I have it working on clips that I have captured using Paviko's own HDVSplit. This script is useful for seeing the aperture, shutter and gain of clips once they are on the computer, escpecially clips shot with auto settings. Previously I could only see that info on the camera while the tape was playing back.
However this process is quite laborious. If anyone knows of an easier way to dig that info out of an HDV .m2t file then please let us know.
It's a shame that Paviko stopped development of this and HDVSplit. I'm sure it would have been pretty easy to get HDVSplit to output aperture, shutter and gain info into a text file or something while capturing.
Anyway this is the script I have ended up with:
Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
file="D:\My Videos\myvideo.d2v" # so you don't need to type the filename twice
MPEG2source(file) # open the video content
HDVInfo(file, size=48, align=2, data_code=true) # reads the recording timestamp
