Can you provide a sample video?

You might be able to see the location of the tag with the -u (-unknown) option.

The "exiftool" Application / Read GCM_TAG from MOV Video

Last post by alex_eichler - Today at 08:55:48 AM

Hi,

we using exiftool for some time to decode tags from jpgs from RICOH G900SE camera.
It can scan barcodes and put other tags into pictures. We use it to put pictures into corresponding folders for our documentation. Works fine...

But the camera also can record movies in MOV format and i found the tags are also into the mov file.
But i can´t get efixtool to reads this values.

I see it behind an "GCM_TAG" when opening the file with notepad++

Can you help me out to find a way to read this tags?

Thanks in advance!

thank you to both of you,
@Phil, I'm not clever enough with exiftool to understand and manage your proposal ^^
my batch seems to work fine, I will keep on using it

From the lack of quotes elsewhere, I'm assuming that this command is being used in Windows PowerShell.

PowerShell is so weird.  The tag copy operation doesn't need quotes around it. I've got no clue as to how it decides that this isn't a redirection operation.

But the end result is that the quotes are needed to keep the space as part of the same argument.

Hello StarGeek,

thanks for your investigations.
It is a great help for me, because I can be concentrated on *.MIE files.

Best regards

How about this?:

exiftool -p my.args DIR > out.txt

with this my.args file:

Code Select Expand

$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[0]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[1]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[2]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[3]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[4]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[5]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[6]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[7]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[8]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[9]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[10]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[11]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[12]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[13]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[14]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[15]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[16]}
$filename $title ${regionpersondisplayname;$_=(split /, /)[17]}

I don't think this is what you want: tr/_/" "/

The tr operator translates single characters only, so this will translate _ to ", not " ".

The only place I can find that in the source code is in the code dealing with MIE files.  This is the first time it's mentioned in these forums.

If you're not working with MIE files, then no clue, but otherwise, it sounds like the MIE file is getting corrupted somehow.

I can't think of a way to do this.  It would probably be easier to split RegionPersonDisplayName in a spreadsheet and then copy/paste the Filename/Title to cover the empty rows.
