Good Afternoon,
Thanks to franchyze923 on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uje5si23lBk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uje5si23lBk)), I followed his tutorial for extracting GPS data from MP4 videos and saving it into a GPX file format. The problem is the code seems to stop processing after collecting 180 data points even when there is much more data stored in the MP4 file. Is this a known issue or has anyone else experienced this? Here is the code I'm running in CMD:
"\\User\Project\exiftool.exe" -p "\\User\Project\gpx.fmt" -ee "\\User\Project\InputFile.MP4" > "\User\Project\OutputFile.gpx"
Thanks!
There are times when exiftool will limit processing when there's an extremely large amount of data, but it will issue a warning when that happens. And only 180 data points should not be a problem.
Try adding the -m (-ignoreMinorErrors) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#m--ignoreMinorErrors) to your command and see if that makes a difference. And the -api LargeFileSupport option (https://exiftool.org/ExifTool.html#LargeFileSupport) if the file is very large (over 4 gigs).
If these don't make a difference, then you will have to wait until Phil gets back from his vacation in a couple of weeks. Preparing a sample file ahead of time would be helpful.
Hi, thanks for the tips! I found out I was thinking this video covered a much longer trip than what it actually did, so it's just a user error on my part lol. thanks again for the help but this issue is resolved.
