The task as I got it did not assume use of a computer (or any other major
additional hardware), and, yes, I think it is somewhat cost sensitive, but =
i
will check it.Thanks for suggestion anyway. For now I am trying to
understand if commercial DVD's really have that timestamp information and
(if so) where it is buried on the disc. (I dont have any DVD player here
right now, and I dont remember what data exactly is displayed during the
playback, but I think any player/disc can show the plyback time, so the
player can obtain it somehow anyway..)

I've not heard of any conventional method.  If it were me, I would
look for either a product which provides this data while it plays a
DVD, or use an open source software based DVD stream reader and
player, such as VLC, MPlayer, or the like.

(Assuming the intended application can cope with the power cost).
