Does anybody knows a good tool to extract the datecode from command-line parsed into a i.e. txt-file ?

I know dv_datecode can do this, but does anybody have other suggestions ?

I use dv_datecode but if you find a better one let me know. DV_Datecode lacks frame precision, each second should have it's frames numbers from 1-29 but datecode just increments them.

I also use dv_datecode at the moment. But even if I specify only 2 frames to grab for TXT-mode, then it takes a LOT of time when it is a video-clip that is big i.e. 2GB.

There is another tool that is very fast, but it cannot dump the datecode and other information to a file. I wrote to the guy, but got no reply back yet. The tool is called DVdate 5.3.6
