Last post by obetz - Today at 03:03:54 AM

I did the exercise of installing VeraCrypt and encrypting the C drive of my development system.

It's rather unlikely that Windows behaves differently when running from an encrypted volume, I suspect much simpler explanations, not related to Veracrypt.

My computer did all the hard work.

I'm using Virtualbox machines to carry out these tests. Would never run that on a physical machine.

Hi Frank,

I did the exercise of installing VeraCrypt and encrypting the C drive of my development system.

Wow.  That's above and beyond!  I wouldn't advise expending such effort on conflicts with other software like this.

Metadata / Re: GPS data from video

Incredible.

With respect to the make/model, I need to ask, as I am not the owner of the video. I will get back to you here as soon as I get it, hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks again.

I did the exercise of installing VeraCrypt and encrypting the C drive of my development system. And ExifToolGui has no problems.
Very likely you're problems are caused by something else.

Note: I made a backup before and that has been restored. I'm not keeping VeraCrypt!

I am using CMD.  That was the fix, not sure how it worked before, but I appreciate you helping me out!  Thank you.

I can see the GPS in this video, and should be able to extract it (hopefully).

What is the make/model of the device?

- Phil

Edit:  I was successful, and version 13.13 will be able to extract this.  But I still need the device make/model for my records.

Are you using CMD or Powershell? I can't help you if you are using PS. It's quoting rules are completely different from any other command line.

Your working command should not work at all on Windows because they don't remove the colons in the dates.

Fixing the quotes, your first command works in CMD, renaming my test file to 20240113_120000550.jpg based upon the time stamp of 2024:01:13 12:00:00.55-08:00

Same with the second command after fixing the quotes

Metadata / GPS data from video

Last post by benjamin.alvial - January 13, 2025, 03:20:59 PM

Hi, I hope all is well.

I am working on a project in which I need to retrieve GPS data from a video. I've tried running exiftool unsuccessfully. I found these three topics that discuss my same issue: some video that definitely has GPS coordinates because they're displayed by a program called "GXPlayer", but exiftool can't retrieve them:

• From 2021
• From 2022
• From 2023

Apparently, Phil has found 11 distinct variations, and this one might be another one (or not), which have been accounted for in recent update (December 2024). I've sent the video in Google Drive to philharvey66 at gmail.

I hope you can help or guide me. Thank you very much.

Below I show you the code I used:

Ah, so using -Trailer:all doesn't show it

Yes, -trailer:all didn't show it because there were no tags extracted (and the trailer wasn't requested as a block).  But ExifTool 13.13 will extract some tags from this trailer.
