I'll bet it's frame number. When you look at the video, does the stamp text look different in any way from other recordings?

I think the numbers that you say are changing so quickly don't actually have anything to do with the time/date. I am pretty sure its very hard, to impossible to change the date code on a picture.

I've always found color cameras to be more expensive.

And once I registered for flickr it told me the photos were private...

A trick I use at my house: I went to wal-mart and bought one of those super-crappy (and cheap, like $20) VCRs. I opened it up and ripped out the modulator. Now I just plug in one of the composite outputs (audio & video) from my DVR into the input on the VCR modulator. Then just split the output from modulator into TV cable. From their it's split into my whole house. Now on any TV in my house I can look all around on CH 3 (w/sound)! On my modulator I could even adjust the frequency to about CH 2-10. Of course you can just keep the VCR all intact, just a lot bigger box...

I believe that a .pw3 extension is for the 'Pulse Player' software. When I googled it, it said that it was only an audio player, so the file you have is only audio... Kinda useless for an accident if you ask me! Have you tried to open it using normal video/audio player like VLC or Windows Media Player?

Almost all smaller monitor have a connection for composite video; (you know, the yellow plug). If your cam uses BNC, just buy the appropriate connector, they are very cheap!
