Yep, on Sony remotes for, say, DSR-11 or VX-2000, it's the "Display" button.
Then the code that shows up on the screen is included in the video out, like
the RCA video out or the S-video out.
If you don't use the "Display" function, sometimes you see time code on
the camera's screen, but it isn't included in video out.
But if this doesn't work out, remember that you're creating a DVD with
unchanging time code. It's only a small matter that it doesn't have the
same zero point, or any other unique point, as your cassette. Just make a
note of where zero is on the DVD (again, use the "Display" button on the DVD
remote) and match that to the same frame on the camera original, and Bob's
your uncle, you dig?
If you use an edit program, they often let you change the time code to
match your DVD, so you won't have to do all that math in your head.
Please call with any questions. I love to chat about this stuff.
Cordially,
Doug
