put time stamp on video using videowrite

Dear all,

I'm using videowrite function to capture video from usb cams (4 simultaneously). I would like to know if it's possible to superimpose a time stamp on this video (I'm sure it's possible, but just don't know how).

Any suggestion/comment/solution is welcome :)

clc;clear;close all

vid = videoinput('winvideo', 1);

set(vid,'TriggerRepeat',Inf);

vid.FrameGrabInterval = 1;

vid_src = getselectedsource(vid);

figure; start(vid)

while true %(vid.FramesAcquired<=100) % Stop after 100 frames

    data=getdata(vid,1);

    imshow(data);

    text(10,10,datestr(now),'color','white')

end

stop(vid)
