Hi All,

I am trying to analyze and extract information from a dashcam video. I have looked at a lot of related form questions that discussed how to extract the information using the exiftool. However, it seems that the video i am trying to analyze doesn't have the GPS information in the metadata like i expected (when i use the dashcam software it does pick up the telemetry's). I was hopping to get some advice. i have attached the link to the video.

excuse my lack of in-depth understanding i am new to this.

Thank you.

This MOV file contains timed GPS that isn't currently supported by ExifTool.  I'll see about adding support for the next release if I can.  I'll post back here if I have any questions.  What make/model of dashcam made this file?

Hi Phil,

Thank you for the repose. I don't know the dashcam make I jest received the Video to analyze.

How do you recommend I can extract the timed GPS from the video.

I recommend waiting for the next version of ExifTool.  With any luck I will be able to add support for this format.

I have been successful in decoding GPS from this video.  ExifTool 12.14 will have this new feature.
