Title: .MOV Creation Date
Post by: firefly2000uk on November 14, 2015, 12:17:06 PM
Please could someone help answer these questions. I'm trying to modify the all dates of .mov video files taken on iPhone.

1) What attribute is "Date" in Windows?

(http://s27.postimg.org/mmd7hieur/2_Windows_Dates.jpg)

Is "Date" in Windows included with the "AllDates" tag?
If I apply this syntax then the "date" field doesn't update.
exiftool.exe "-AllDates=2015:05:31_14:52:14" "M:\Project\2015-05-04_15-23-01.mov"

What would be the syntax to change all dates/time from "com.apple.quicktime.creationdate"?
This is embed into the file from the iPhone (This is the correct time I need to reference)

No.  AllDates is just the common EXIF date/time tags.  (See the Shortcut Tags documentation (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/Shortcuts.html) for details.)

Use -time:all to specify all date/time tags, but note that ExifTool has limited write ability for QuickTime files.  See the QuickTime tags documentation for details.
