Make a folder named newfiles in same folder as your mov files.
Make a metadata.bat file with notepad in same folder as the mov files with this code:

for %%a in ("*.mov") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -map_metadata -1 -c:v copy -c:a copy "newfiles\%%~na.mov"
pause

Doubleclick on the metadata.bat file to run it. Check if you get any errors.

Something like this works for me:

-map_metadata:g -1:g -map_metadata:s:v -1:g -map_metadata:s:a -1:g

Change it to just ffmpeg if you have ffmpeg.exe in same folder as your .bat file.

Nope. Just ffmpeg. No c:\.

Like:

for %%a in ("*.mov") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -map_metadata -1 -c:v copy -c:a copy "newfiles\%%~na.mov"
pause

ffmpeg.exe must be in same folder as your metadata.bat

Okey then set the ffmpeg to that folder.

"K:\folder\folder\folder\ffmpeg.exe"

Replace folder with your folders...

Example:

for %%a in ("*.mov") do "K:\folder\folder\folder\ffmpeg.exe" -i "%%a" -map_metadata -1 -c:v copy -c:a copy "newfiles\%%~na.mov"
pause

Still same error?

Is the ffmpeg.exe a shortcut to the bin folder?

Do you have a ffmpeg in the bin folder also? Then copy it over your current ffmpeg.exe

[uppon2]

Yep. That fixed it. Thanks!

Great!
