My bad, you're right. This was an old script which obviously didn't work on .mp4/.mov files because of exiftools limitations. After that I wrote another one that works fine. Here it is: https://gist.github.com/Schnouki/5028480
It's basically a .mov/.mp4 parser in pure Python that can change datetime fields. I never had any trouble with it, but please make sure to backup your files before using this tool :) Cheers, Thomas Le 24 février 2013 à 14:27 CET, Thomas Novin a écrit : > http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#supported > > It say's MP4 isn't even supported writing to? > > > > On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 2:14 PM, Thomas Novin <[email protected]> wrote: > >> That looks like exactly what I want, thanks! >> >> However, testing it, it doesn't seem to work? >> >> $ exifdate.py -s 2010-04-02_10:00:46 20100402100046.mp4 >> $ exiftool 20100402100046.mp4 | grep -i date >> File Modification Date/Time : 2013:02:24 14:10:13+01:00 >> Create Date : 1904:01:01 00:00:00 >> Modify Date : 1904:01:01 00:00:00 >> Track Create Date : 1904:01:01 00:00:00 >> Track Modify Date : 1904:01:01 00:00:00 >> Media Create Date : 1904:01:01 00:00:00 >> Media Modify Date : 1904:01:01 00:00:00 >> >> Rgds//Thomas >> >> On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 10:45 AM, Thomas Jost <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> You can use exiftool, with something similar to this: >>> >>> exiftool -p -CreateDate="%Y:%m:%d %H:%M:%S" file.mp4 >>> >>> Here's a little Python3 script I wrote about a year ago to do it with all >>> the relevant MP4 tags: http://pastebin.com/HTQZMqKX >>> >>> Cheers, >>> Thomas >>> >>> Le 24/02/2013 10:36, Thomas Novin a écrit : >>> >>>> Hello >>>> >>>> I'm converting some old recordings from a DVR we had from .MTS to .MP4. >>>> After this, I will import them to shotwell.
