Hello Phil,

Exiftool supports an Extra-Tag in file-group: Comment.
My question now is, which encoding does Exiftool use for this tag.

I came to this question because XnViewMP has introduced a setting for the encoding of this tag.

Thanks for your help in advance and
Best regards

According to FAQ #10
   JPEG Comment: The encoding for the JPEG Comment (COM segment) is not specified, so ExifTool reads/writes this text without conversion.

That's all I can offer up at the moment.  Phil is currently away and should be back later this week.
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

Hello StarGeek,

thanks for your quick reply.
Sorry, but I have overseen this detail in FAQ.
