Title: Exif and .mov

Hi Phil, maybe I am being a tad pedantic here.

Your table of supported file types shows only R for exif for mov,qt files but I appear to be able to write to an exif tag.

exiftool -G -a -majorbrand -copyright x-s1_2039.mov

Code Select

[QuickTime]     Major Brand                     : Apple QuickTime (.MOV/QT)
[EXIF]          Copyright                       :

exiftool -copyright="Alan Clifford" x-s1_2039.mov

Code Select

exiftool -G -a -majorbrand -copyright x-s1_2039.mov

This is on OSX 10.9.5, Exiftool 9.53

Hi Alan,

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll have to look into this. This unexpected feature has not been tested.

After a lot of testing, I have found and fixed a couple of problems writing EXIF in MOV videos. ExifTool 9.78 will add official support for this.

Thanks again for bringing this to my attention.
