I know nothing about Java but is this possible

[Pete]

I need a program that extracts the file creation date and time from an
AVI(mjpg) file(eg: movie.avi) and then inserts that info/text inside a
text file that already has some text. So.. in effect the extracted date
and time is inserted into the subtitle file(eg: subtitle.ssa) for my
Virtualdub video editing program. tia

This is the .ssa subtitle file... All I need is the date and time info
inserted at the very bottom.

Sure, this can be done. Look at the "File" class for accessing the
file attributes you want (create date, etc.) and "FileOutputStream" for
writing data to a text file.

For plain text use e.g. an OutputStreamWriter, not any kind of
OutputStream.
