Hi Adam, Thank you very much for your quick reply. I'm not familiar with the status of GStreamer. So, currently it does not allow to read out exif data of an MTS file; even not the creation date? On the other hand, if it does I guess it would be a quick fix to read out the creation date at least (for 0.9) to assign imported MTS files to events.
