I'm trying to stamp videos taken with the 70D with the time/date of when they where taken. On camcorders that use AVCHD there is software to do this automatically but i have never seen it for .mov files i'm not even sure if they contain the data needed other than the creation date.

It could be done by hand but would take forever with a memory card full of video clips taken over months time.
 
The information is in the metadata, just like a still. However. unlike a camcorder, a DSLR is more of a professional tool, so it is assumed that you will edit and add any titles or overlays using your video editing software.
I'd expect that there is some editing software out there that will grab metadata and insert it, but I don't know what it might be.
