List original CreationTime of all MP4, AVI and MKV videos?

[pstein]

As far as I know ExifTool can handle not only photos but video files as well.

How can I tell ExifTool to list the (original) CreationTimes of all *.MP4, *.AVI and *.MKV video files in directory D:\pictures\  ?

You can run something like
exiftool -time:all -g1 -a -s -ext mp4 -ext avi -ext mkv /path/to/directory
to view all the time data attached to the file, either embedded in the file or as part of the OS time stamp.

As for "original", that can be relative.  If the file has been edited, the "original" time may not have been transferred and the time data will reflect the time of the edit.  If it's been downloaded from social media, for example, it's probably been stripped away as most social media sites will strip metadata for privacy.
