how to edit mp4/mkv metadata in windows?

[mrjayviper]

Hello again. I've recently moved to Windows from OS X and I'm looking for an app that can edit a video's metadata (e.g. comments,title and etc). On OS X, I am using identity but I did a net search and can't find anything for windows.

I'm hoping for an app that can do bulk update as well.

Thanks

I found quite a few MS programs for altering metadata by doing an Internet search for, " windows, alter video metadata "

Some may not like it when you alter metadata.

Have a look at metax , but it's not free

You can do some batch manipulations with commandline tools such as mp4v2, mp4box, mkvmerge, exiftool - but they are not as easy to use

There isn't a "great" all in 1 tool for handling metadata for various containers

Thanks for the help. I've been trying various software but they don't seemed to do the job. I'll trial metax. thanks

According to the web site information MetX handles:

MetaX supports MP4, M4V, MOV, AVI, MKV and WMV files.

With ffmpeg ..

ffmpeg -i myvideo.mp4 -metadata title="TITLE" -metadata artist="ARTIST" -metadata date=DATE -metadata genre="GENRE" -metadata comment="COMMENT" -acodec copy -vcodec copy mynewvideo.mp4

I can easily make a DOS script out of that. thanks!
