Title: video files

Are there ANY tags to which exiftool can write to when it comes to .mov files?

Thanks.

Hi Pedro,

No.  ExifTool currently does not write to MOV videos.  Blame this on the complete lack of standardization and documentation of metadata in video format files.  (OK, MOV itself is well documented, but a number of other formats also use this container and they are not as well documented and store the metadata in different locations.)

Sorry to hear that.  Thanks for your reply.  It's still a great tool.  I can always use Bridge for my video files although it is not as convenient...
