Title: Where Are the Metadata Tags?
Post by: claytoncarney on July 15, 2013, 07:10:55 PM
With 2.5 (and I believe earlier versions of 2.6), the avi output files from Avidemux contained metadata tags (e.g., length, frame width, frame height, etc.). Just installed 2.6.4 and find these tags are missing in the avi output files now. What am I doing wrong?

use both alongside 2.6.4 and 2.5.6 when processing video with metadata tags.
you could transfer metadata from original video to new video:
ffmpeg -i original.avi -i edited.avi -map 1 -map_metadata 0 -c copy newmetadatavideo.avi
check ffmpeg --help for sure.

I don't understand what you mean here. Would you please clarify?

Am I mistaken? AFAIK, an ffmpeg executable is not included in the Windows installs.

I take it then that automatic copying of tags has been removed in 2.6.4...

Looks like it. If you install ffmpeg, this way you could transfer the metadatatags form original to new video. I know is work around, I'm just a user.
