How can I change date taken movie mp4 via ExifTool?

Sounds like there is a format problem in your video file.

It sounds like there's a problem with the file, not something you did.

It came directly from my phone.  No issues with playback.

Sent, thanks for the help, it will help with other files as well.

The end of this MP4 contains some "BackupRestore_data" that does not conform to the MP4 format.  If a video player ignores this, it will play the video fine, but ExifTool won't write this because it doesn't know how to rewrite the improperly formatted data.

So there is nothing that can be done.
