VLC snapshots from video stream with added date and time overlay

I cant figure out how to add date and time overlay when making a snapshot of a video stream in VLC player and command line. In the attached example I can see date and time in the player but its not saved with the snapshot file.

This what I see dropping your file onto VLC
Says it's a undf?
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
User generated imageUse .asf format?
I don't know if you can add the date and time to the live streaming maybe later once you stop capturing.
I'm not familiar with using VLC via cmd line either but I dare say adding a date and type would be like a subfilter
See if this helps
