'QuickTime' movie time stamps are stored as UTC and programs should adjust them to the local time. If you add the '-api QuickTimeUTC=1' option to exiftool, it will convert to/from UTC based upon the current time zone of the computer with DST adjustment.

Off topic, that's the first time I've seen the € symbol used to indicate an edit.  This amuses me greatly and might be something I start doing.  Probably not here but elsewhere on the net.

Further thought, if I have to edit a fourth time, I'll probably use €3.50 to bring that meme into play.
