Removing Junk Embedded In RAW

[scottd]

I documented a bug in Capture One and have them working on a fix.  In the mean time, I have HUNDRED of these lines in around 800 raw files (NEF).  Is there a quick method to remove this entire structure?  The "expressionmedia" and "mediapro:people" seem to be problems. :-(

You could try recreating the XMP from scratch, which will have the effect of deleting all XMP that ExifTool doesn't recognize:

exiftool -xmp:all= -tagsfromfile @ "-all:all<xmp:all" FILE

where FILE is the name of one or more files and/or directories to be changed.

But you should check to be sure that this doesn't erase anything that you want preserved.
