Video media creation date

[gaaned92]

I generated a slideshow MP4 video.

I observe that the media creation date is not set. What I have to do to set the media dates?

Hi,

Currently, PTE doesn't add a meta tag (date) to created MP4 video. Only usual modified date of a file.
The code of video encoder is very complex and we still couldn't implement it.

You can try dmMediaConverter free utility to edit metadata in MP4:

Also read a discussion here: https://superuser.com/questions/983804/mp4-video-editing-creation-date-and-other-metadata

Thank you for your answer.

But I hope you will overcome the difficulty to write a CreateDate tag in the video metadata.

 

In the mean time, I will continue to do that manually with exiftool:

exiftool.exe "-CreateDate=2019:11:23 10:05:42"  '/d//190509 RUSSIE/diapo/russie-19-1.mp4'
