I am trying to extract JPG with geotags from a .mov file shot with an IPhone. I am stuck how to do it. I am not sure if every frame has a GPS location, but when I try the -ee option I do not get any output. Probably my commandline options are not correct.

Any suggestions would be helpful

Hi Rob,

I have some iPhone movie samples, and I get this:

% exiftool -ee "-gps*" -G3:1 ../pics/Apple_iPhone6Plus.mov
[QuickTime]     GPS Coordinates (err)           : 51.482000 N, 3.179700 W, 35.273 m Above Sea Level
[QuickTime]     GPS Coordinates                 : 51.482000 N, 3.179700 W, 35.273 m Above Sea Level
[Composite]     GPS Altitude                    : 35.273 m
[Composite]     GPS Altitude Ref                : Above Sea Level
[Composite]     GPS Latitude                    : 51.482000 N
[Composite]     GPS Longitude                   : 3.179700 W
[Composite]     GPS Position                    : 51.482000 N, 3.179700 W


None of this is embedded in the video data, so the -ee doesn't make a difference.  If it was embedded, the group name would show a document number since I used -G3:1.
