Title: How to edit "Cast" field in MP4?
Post by: d728kK on March 25, 2018, 04:03:31 PM

Hello,

I have an MP4 video that has a value defined for "Cast"...in this video it was used to put an actors name. Exiftool cannot write it and I can't seem to find a program to delete or change it. Can anybody point me to at least what program/protocol/application might have been used to put something in this field originally? It does not show up in a standard Windows properties box, VLC, Kid3, or Mp3Tag. I tried to take a stab at a few categories in the master list (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/index.html), but without a searchable index of tags (a VERY much desired enhancement), it would take hours to go through each category to search.

Thanks in advance.

Add -g1 to see the tag group it belongs to.

You can search the tag pages specifically by using Google and adding site:exiftool.org/TagNames to the search.

Cast appears to be a PLIST tag https://www.exiftool.org/TagNames/PLIST.html
First I've heard of them so I can't help with what will write the tag.

You can probably remove it (and other metadata ) with Ffmpeg.
