That said, even if this is the case, abcAVI still provides an extremely user friendly interface to this rewrapping. I suspect this means that remuxing or rewrapping the stream of the file is necessary in some way, so perhaps that's what this tool does under the hood, in which case it would be just like running ffmpeg on it anyway. Lightroom couldn't and exiftool couldn't. I must also admit that I don't know at all how metadata works in AVI files and why it was so hard and took me so long to find something that could make these basic edits. This is different from file metadata, which is referring to the information about a file, things such as filename, type, date, etc. I spent quite a while looking for an answer to this, mostly because I didn't really want to run my files through ffmpeg, since I was trying to archive them as they were, but only with the slight date change. In this instance, metadata file refers to a file with a sole purpose of holding metadata. Still, if you do know of a better way to do this, I would certainly like to know! I would certainly prefer an open source solution to this problem, that also works in bulk, but abcAVI is freeware, and it did what I needed. After downloading, I could change my dates forward by writing the new date, though I couldn't do it in bulk, it still worked great. There is a program called abcAVI Tag Editor which seems to work perfectly and did exactly what I wanted. ![]() ![]() Today, thanks to Laraine_Mae's excellent post in this thread, I managed to find a pretty good answer to this question and I'm posting it here so it gets more visibility.
