Totally stumped on this. Copied some mp4 files off my phone, that I need to show a correct date for. Checked the file properties and found an empty "media created" date field. The date should've read 2019/01/22 7:49 pm.
Tried to use exiftool to fix the issue with the command:
"-CreateDate=2019:01:22 19:49:14-05:00" 20190122_194914.mp4
Then my machine spat 2019/01/22 2:49 pm.
in my face instead.
I even used the modify all dates command
"-AllDates=2019:01:22 19:49:14-05:00" 20190122_194914.mp4
Same 5 hours behind result. Running the file on exiftool shows the correct dates. I know my system time is correct.
I'm running windows 10. My system time and timezone setting are correct. I haven't had this problem with the photos I copied over. The "Date Taken" value was retained, and changing things through exiftool still gives the correct time in the properties. Any suggestions on how to fix this with .mp4 videos or am I missing something with exiftool?
1How did you copy that file from phone? cable or wireless? MTP? – Biswapriyo – 2019-02-09T17:07:20.727
create a mp4 file on your box and take that to your phone. Does that show this 5 hour difference oh phone? – VSRawat – 2019-02-09T17:57:45.827
If you are sure that pc/ lappy time is correct, could be that phone time/ zone is not correctly set. – VSRawat – 2019-02-09T17:58:15.807
@Biswapriyo Copied it via a usb cable with file transfer using MTP. – Cyrss – 2019-02-09T18:29:47.460
