Extracting GPS from *.TS video file

[Engineer_GLTECH]

Hello Phil,
I have a new Dashcam with a different file format and I can not get exiftool to extract the GPS coordinate. Would you look into it please?

Thanks & Best regards

Phil just went AFK for a couple of weeks, so it will be some time before this gets looked at.

OK. Thanks for the info.

This is a program with PID 0x0300 containing private data in this video, but it seems to contain only a timestamp, not GPS:

And I can't see any other programs which could contain the GPS track.

Good news!

After looking at this file in more depth, I found that some of the private data packets later in the file actually do contain encrypted GPS!!

ExifTool 13.07 will have the ability to decrypt and extract this information.
