Video Time Stamp Removal

Does anyone know if there is a way to remove time stamps from a Hi8 8mm Video Cassette Tape? Or from the digitized version of said tape?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Hi

If You have the original tape and Camera - You turn of the feature on the Camera
and import via an analog/digital converter (or if Your Camera has digital FireWire out)

If You got Your material digitized with date&time stamp. Sorry - only way is to
make this area fuzzy/unsharp = as bad as if it is as it is.

Alternative: If You use iMovie'08 or FinalCut Express or Pro You can enlarge the
picture slightly so that the time&date stamp goes out of the viewable area.
But still often a bad solution.

Not even Pro companies as ABC and shows like AFV can magically erase this.

Recommendation: Make a new digital copy but this time with the time&date stamp
turned off. Absolutely the most pro-approach.
