Hello Phil,
I hope you had a good vacation time. Did you have time to test the issue with flash video files since your return?
Best,
Pierre

I'm still catching up on a backlog of work since I've been away.  It will take me some more time before I can look into this.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Hi Pierre,

Yes.  ExifTool doesn't scan to the end of an FLV file.  It stops reading after it extracts the metadata.
