I get "Undefined subroutine" with this command line:
$ exiftool -makernotes= exiftool-bug.2023.12.20.dng
Undefined subroutine &Image::ExifTool::QuickTime::WriteQuickTime called at /usr/local/bin/lib/Image/ExifTool/Writer.pl line 694.
$ exiftool -ver
12.70

Tested on Mac OS 14.1.
Also, when I use -makernotes:all= it does what I intended. So I guess the issue is the obscure error message when I gave -makernotes=.
Using this delete makernotes command, I get an error message, as shown below. I was using the Oliver Betz install, which I uninstalled and reinstalled, but that didn't help. So I uninstalled the Oliver Betz install and downloaded ExifTool from https://exiftool.org/exiftool-12.70.zip, but am still getting the same error message. I am stumped, so I tried a reboot, but that didn't help either.
I'm using ExifTool aplenty, and everything else works great. How can I fix the delete makernotes - undefined subroutine problem?
-MakerNotes=
E:\mySourceFolder\Ribault Bike Ride\PA110002.JPG
-o
e:\myTargetFolder\%f.%e
There's nothing you can do, it'll have to be fixed by Phil.
According to this post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=15501.0) on the same subject, you could use -MakerNotes:all= in the meantime.

I forgot to add the error message. Here it is:
Exiftool: Undefined subroutine &Image::ExifTool::QuickTime::WriteQuickTime called at C:\Users\dwlot\AppData\Local\Temp\par-64776c6f74\cache-exiftool-12.70\inc\lib/Image/ExifTool/Writer.pl line 694.
could you post the sample image that shows this problem?

I went ahead and merged these two threads as it was the same topic.
I was also able to duplicate it by copying a MakerNotes from one of my original files into my test file and had the same error.
C:\>exiftool -P -overwrite_original -TagsFromFile 2012-07-28_15.42.05.Nef -MakerNotes y:\!temp\Test4.jpg
1 image files updated
C:\>exiftool -P -overwrite_original -MakerNotes= y:\!temp\Test4.jpg

Ouch. It is very unusual that I wouldn't be able to reproduce an issue like this:
> Image-ExifTool-12.70/exiftool ~/Desktop/exiftool-bug.2023.12.20.dng -makernotes= -o tmp
1 image files created
(on MacOS 10.14.6)

Does this still happen if you add -config "" at the start of the command?
- Phil
Edit: Ah, OK. If I add that to my command then I see the error!!
I found the problem. This bug was introduced in 12.69 with a change in the writing of makernotes as a block to CR3 images.
I'll fix this in version 12.71 which I hope to release later today.
- Phil
12.71 is now available.
