How easy is it to get the timestamp of recording from DV (like on DV tape) AVI files?

I am looking for a way to extract or extract recording timestamp from DV AVI files. The timestamp must be part of the AVI file metadata. The files were originally imported from DV to PC and DV format wrapped in AVI.

A library providing an API - or a command line tool would be fine. I'm going to use this on a Mac, but the open source tools for Linux are good too.

After further research, I found MediaInfo http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/



They also provide a command line tool and library for Windows, Mac and Linux. However, the command line version along with some basic shell scripting solved my problem.

I don't think the timestamp is stored in the file's metadata because in some of my videos that show recordings from different days, it changes. In fact, I think each frame has its own time stamp.
