Hello guys,
I have the following problem. Everytime I try to write copyright metadata to my .mp4 file. It's not shown up inside the detail window of windows 10. How can I fill in the copyright info correctly, so it gets shown inside this window.
I tried: exiftool -copyright:"test" a.mp4
It says "updated" and creates two files named "a.mp4_original" after the operation, but no metadata is written...
I hope, you can help me.
Best regards,
me.

Metadata was written, double check it with exiftool to see. For exampe:
C:\>exiftool -P -overwrite_original -Copyright="My Copyright" Y:\!temp\Test1.mp4
1 image files updated
C:\>exiftool -G1 -a -s -Copyright Y:\!temp\Test1.mp4
[ItemList] Copyright : My Copyright
[XMP-tiff] Copyright : My CopyrightAs you can see, exiftool wrote into the
ItemList:Copyright (a Quicktime tag) and
XMP-tiff:Copyright.
The problem is figuring out what tag Windows actually reads to fill in the Copyright property it will display. I've documented what I could in this post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=6591.msg32875#msg32875). I couldn't verify what Windows will read to fill the Copyright property, but I suspect that it is the
Microsoft:Copyright tag (see Microsoft tags page (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Microsoft.html)). Unfortunately, exiftool can't write this tag and I don't know of a program that can.
You might try MP3Tag (https://www.mp3tag.de/en/index.html), which can actually write MP4 files regardless of the name. I know it has the ability to write some Microsoft specific tags, but I've never checked to see what they are. A quick google search brings up this page (https://help.mp3tag.de/main_tags.html) which seems to indicate that it can write the
Microsoft:Copyright.
With regards to the
_original file, use the
-overwrite_original option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#overwrite_original) to suppress the creation of backup files.
Thanks for the quick answer.
I already tried MP3Tag but it's also not working. The only software I know, it's working for video and audio files is "Vegas Pro" which I used before, but now I changed to "DaVinci Resolve 17.0" where it's not possible to add a Micorosoft copyright tag.
Maybe there is another possibility?
