Hello,
I am using the following command to extract all the current metadata associated with this SONY .mp4 file.

exiftool -w txt -g2 "filename.mp4"

I am using a write-blocker to prevent any changes to the original file and therefore need the text file that is created to output to a different directory. Is there a command that will make this possible?

Thank you for any assistance. Great tool.

You'll need to edit the -w txt part of your command.  Take a look at the docs on -w for details and some examples.
* 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).
