18 digit timestamp?

Question

I am working on a system related to tv recordings.

I am parsing the following xml from another system (to which i have no documentation):

Answer 1

It looks like C#'s DateTime ticks:

The DateTime value type represents dates and times with values ranging from 12:00:00 midnight, January 1, 0001 Anno Domini (Common Era) through 11:59:59 P.M., December 31, 9999 A.D. (C.E.)

This line:

Console.WriteLine (new DateTime (633936042047633656));

prints:

11/12/2009 6:30:04 AM

If you need to convert from those numbers to Unix time, substract 621355968000000000L, which is the Unix epoch expressed in ticks.
