Hi Edmore, as far as I remember the thinking with regards to dcCreated was that we just don't know the actual recording date, which may or may not be related to the date on which the file was dropped into the inbox. One solution may be to try and read the recording date from the movie itself during inpsection time. Media info for example displays an "Encoded date":
Encoded date : UTC 2008-12-04 12:45:51 This to me seems to be much more accurate than taking the date where the file was dropped into the inbox. Would you agree?
