Remove / Clear metadata from MP4's stored in one location

[NickSpender]

Hello

New to the forum

I am currently using filebot to rename all my movies etc. This runs a powershell script. Works very well. One thing I have noticed is that filebot dose not update or even remove / clear the metadata i.e title.

I would like a command line based tool to remove the metadata. FFmpeg was suggested but the command I used appears to need an in file and a outfile.

MP3tag works instantly but requires me to fire up the software,

Any help would be great

Nick

So you've already worked out how to do it with one file and just want to know how to batch the process? To process all mp4 files in a folder:

for %%F in (*.mp4) do ffmpeg  -i "%%F" [other args] "%%~dpnF.cleaned.mp4"

The will process each file and produce a new file: original.mp4 --> original.cleaned.mp4. You'll have to supply the arguments.
