not sure if we are talking about the same problem but the time stamp of video-recordings start when video capturing starts. That is, if you start your VM, then do something and 2 hours later you decide to start capturing then the video time stamp will start at 2 hours. If you pause the video capture and continue it later then the time stamps will jump. The time stamp of the video is always synchron with the VM runtime. I don't consider this a bug but as a feature. If you think this does not fit your needs and the time stamp should always start at 0 and should only advance if recording is active (i.e. don't jump if capturing is paused) then this can be certainly implemented.
