Thankx

You have to be far more specific. There are many types of files and many different methods of storing metadata.

[sekininsha]

eg. with ffmpeg ..

ffmpeg -metadata title="TITLE" -metadata artist="ARTIST" -metadata date=DATE -metadata genre="GENRE" -metadata comment="COMMENT" -acodec copy -vcodec copy -i old.mkv new.mkv

[mohansliit]

Thankx friends... I'll Try it..

[vhelp]

is there a cleaner way to obtain just the metadata w/out all the other junk ?

ffmpeg -i g:\video.xvid.avi -f ffmetadata

Without re-writing the source-code plus re-compiling the damn binary... I think it's very-unlikely
That's what I had to do to dcaenc for example, because Lord Mulder (like every good German) likes to overcomplicate all things...

[vhelp]

thats unfortunate. anyway. i found a pretty old copy of exiftool in my tools folder. and as it turns out, it gives a clean list of all the files metadata. also, it will give you just the "element" you specifiy, i.e., exiftool title, exiftool framerate, ...

i dont' know if it writes them, only tested read. but we can use ffmpeg for that, since that is how i was able to test on the xvid file. i guess we are limited to what ffmpeg will write to a certain media, i.e., xvid, mpeg, ... and of course, our knowledge of these tools and whatnot. it did not write to an .hm10 nor to one after muxing to .mp4 container. i guess its not in the spec yet for hevc videos.

[Selur]

" it did not write to an .hm10"
and hopefully never will, that's RAW video, without headers which are ment to contain tagging, adding tags would break the format -> bad idea
tagging mp4 works fine with in example mp4box

[vhelp]

the ffmpeg version i was using would not write the metadata to the .hm10 -> .mp4 i created through the muxing method for x265->hevc encoded videos:

w/out audio 
mp4box -add g:\video.hm10:fmt=hevc: -fps 23.976 -new g:\video.mp4 

w/audio/video 
mp4box -add g:\video.hm10:fmt=hevc: -fps 23.976 -add g:\audio.aac -new g:\video.mp4

is there another commandline tool to write simple metadata like ffmpeg ?

[Selur]

the ffmpeg version

yes, that version exactly, that's probably the cause of the other guy, next to that guy,....
-> No clue which version you use.

is there another commandline tool to write simple metadata like ffmpeg ?

What's wrong with using mp4box for mp4?

---
btw. "last: 12.29.06" -> shouldn't that be 12.06.29 or 29.06.12?
(having the number of the day in the middle of a date seems wrong)

[vhelp]

i did not know mp4box also writes tag/metadata info. i will look into..

I'm looking for a software that can Add/Edit/Remove the meta data of a video.

So you can claim someone elses work as your own?
