So I tried with ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -movflags +use_metadata_tags -metadata TSC=1001 -c copy output.mp4
But the TSC is not added. It does remove though the "writing application" information, that was one of the things i was looking. I read somewhere that "-movflags +use_metadata_tags" is only for MOV, maybe s not fully implemented for MP4? The ffmpeg version i'm using is the 4.1.3 windows x64 version from https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/. You still haven't told us what you actually want to achieve.

Those videos were originally mp42 and remuxed (without reencoding) to mp41. I was provided only one of those videos in the original mp42 format to check headers/metadata, with that video i found that video stream extracted (without reencoding) from mp41 version is binary equal to the video stream extracted (without reencoding) from the mp42 video version, and the same for the audio streams, so basically there is a difference on headers/structure only. I know i will not be able to the same exact original version but i need to get at least a mp42 file with the same headers/metadata. Do you know if there is a proper tool to get a tue mp42 file without reencoding, being ffmpeg seems to not support that? Or eventually how to get those metadata that doesn't seem to be added with "-movflags +use_metadata_tags"?
