Comment 14 for bug 1814014

Robert, I wonder if you are mistaken about how Rapid Photo Downloader determines video metadata. It never reads the metadata directly itself. It always relies on two external programs for videos: mediainfo, and ExifTool. These two programs don't always return the correct results. Sometimes Rapid Photo Downloader has to choose between them.

If neither of those two programs can correctly read the video metadata, then there is nothing Rapid Photo Downloader can do.

Furthermore, unlike with photos, metadata standards in video files are relatively chaotic and can be prone to error. The problem is there are vendor driven standards, rather than industry wide standards like Exif that everyone follows

Incidentally neither ExifTool nor mediainfo modify a file when merely reading its metadata!! Rapid Photo Downloader does not either!! So I have literally no idea what you are referring to when you claim metadata is being "stripped".
