Capture Date For Video I have tons of videos of my children and they have been moved from drive to drive many times over the years.  Is there a way to easily get the date the video was taken?  I'm importing them into iTunes currently, but I can find nothing that shows the date the video was taken?
MediaInfo gives you a way to check the file metadata, including the creation date for the video and audio streams. This is free, cross platform and open source and also provides a GUI for you to check.



If you're up for using the command line, with MediaInfo:

mediainfo in.mp4 | grep "Encoded date" | head -n1 | cut -d: -f2-


With FFmpeg's ffprobe:

ffprobe -v quiet -print_format flat -show_format in.mp4 | grep creation_time | cut -d= -f2-
