McCordRm Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I know you can remove metadata from MP3 music files with MP3Tag. I'm curious if there's a similar program for MP4 video files. My TV can read my movies from my NAS via DLNA, but it's sorting them by Date as opposed to alphabetically. So I'm wanting to remove the date from my files. Thanks in advance.

Rohdekill Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Movie Manager Pro is one option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCordRm Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Tried it. I can't make it change the Dates; not created, modified, etc. I want to clear that data from my files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torolol Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 is the date really metadata and not the actual file's date? try to change the file's timestamps using touch-like program. if the OS is NT>4 may try this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/touchforwindows/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantpotato Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Dates are not metadata stored in the files, they're controlled by the filesystem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCordRm Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 There are three dates: Created Modified Accessed All three dates are different, and none of them are today- even though I have played the files today. So those dates are stored inside the file somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torolol Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 its possible to instructs OS to NOT write the Accessed date. so that date will not change, even you read the files just now. have you tried the touch-like program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCordRm Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 That program is command-line. I like my GUIs. :) Anyhow, I'm trying this program now: eXpress Timestamp Toucher I'll see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
