.MOV Geolocation data

[rcamjordan13]

Hello,

I have been messing around with this tool for a few hours now and can't seem to find any geolocation data, or lack thereof, for a .MOV file that I have. I am able to view other exif info such as the original recording date but can't seem to locate anything on goelocation.

Is it possible for exiftool to pull geolocation data from a .MOV file?

The answer is: Maybe.

Unfortunately, there isn't a standard for gps data in a video stream and every company seems to do it a different way.  At the moment, exiftool can pull data from over 25 (I think) different formats.

To check to see if the video has just a static coordinate, you can try:
exiftool -gps* -a -s -G1 File.MOV

You can also test to see if the video has gps coordinates embedded in the video stream with
exiftool -gps* -ee -a -s -G1 File.MOV

If the file does show data in that second command and you want to make a GPS track log from the data, take a look at Inverse Geotagging

If there's no output, then the file either doesn't have any gps data or it's in a format that exiftool doesn't know about.

At the moment, exiftool can pull data from over 25 (I think) different formats.

The current count is 30 different formats.
