Visual AVCHD Time Stamp

Visual AVCHD Time Stamp is an advanced and rather intuitive Windows application that lets you embeds the date and time stamp of a video in its AVCHD file. It features a built-in video previewer and automatic PC shutdown, among other handy options.

The interface of the application does not put too much emphasis on looks but it's pretty simple to navigate. You can select an AVCHD file (.mts or .m2ts format) to preview in the main application window and seek a position within the playback.

It is possible to set the date and time stamps along with their position on the image by specifying the x and y coordinates, customize the font, as well as to set their on-screen duration.

Visual AVCHD Time Stamp lets you pick the output directory of the new movie file and make the PC immediately turn off after task completion, which particularly comes in handy if you plan to leave the machine unattended.

Visual AVCHD Time Stamp supports multiple UI languages, so you can choose the preferred one. What's more, you can adjust the time, modify the output video size and bit rate, skip audio transcoding, use the first timecode as the output file's creation time together with the last timecode as the modification time, as well as set a new name for the file.

The program took a reasonable amount of time to finish timestamp embedding in our tests, during which it remained light on system resources. No error dialogs popped up, and the tool did not hang or crash.

Taking into account its straightforward options, Visual AVCHD Time Stamp seems to be a reliable application for attaching the time and code of a movie within the movie, and it should satisfy the preferences of most users.
