我有许多从文件系统修改日期正确的各种数码相机格式转码的 MPEG-4 文件。我想将“媒体创建”标签设置为匹配。这可以通过“属性”窗口的“详细信息”选项卡在 Windows 资源管理器中手动完成。设置 Media Created 很有用，因为 Windows Live Photo Gallery 为它的 Date Taken 属性关闭此字段。不幸的是，文件的数量使得手动设置所有日期变得不切实际。
自动化的几种途径具有潜力。TagLib#似乎支持所有 MP4 标签，但获取更多基本标签的 API 尚不清楚。另一个角度是 Windows 外壳。据推测，Windows Explorer 正在使用它来编写标签。有一个通过 shell读取的示例，但似乎没有用于写入的 API。
我已经成功了exiftool。以下是列出媒体文件中所有标签并更新选定标签的命令（也可以批量处理文件）：

使用Windows 属性系统。请参阅属性编辑示例以开始使用。设置这些属性：
我通过直接写读/写 MP4 文件格式解决了这个问题。这是VB中的代码：

' Retrieve creation-time and modification-time, embedded inside the metadata of MP4 files
Dim ft = Mp4Times("a.mp4")
Console.WriteLine(ft.CreationTime)
Console.WriteLine(ft.ModificationTime)
' Update those times
Mp4Times("a.mp4", Date.Now, Date.Now)
End Sub

' The file is made up of a sequence of boxes, with a standard way to find size and FourCC "kind" of each.
' Some box kinds contain a kind-specific blob of binary data. Other box kinds contain a sequence
' of sub-boxes. You need to look up the specs for each kind to know whether it has a blob or sub-boxes.
' We look for a top-level box of kind "moov", which contains sub-boxes, and then we look for its sub-box
' of kind "mvhd", which contains a binary blob. This is where Creation/ModificationTime are stored.
Dim pos = 0L, payloadStart = 0L, payloadEnd = 0L, boxKind = ""

这是我编写的一个 PowerShell 脚本，用于使用 exiftool 批量解决这个问题。
它会将所有 exiftool 命令写入 CMD 文件。exiftool.exe 需要与文件和 exiftool.exe 位于同一位置
确保 Powershell ISE / PS1 文件位于您正在处理文件的同一目录中。完成后，您可以在记事本中查看 CMD 文件。如果一切正常，请使用 CMD 运行它。:)
$allFiles = Get-ChildItem -Filter * -Exclude *.exe
$exifFile = @()
$exifFile += "@echo off"
foreach($file in $allFiles)

$month = $file.CreationTime.Month
$day = $file.CreationTime.Day
$hour = $file.CreationTime.Hour
$min = $file.CreationTime.Minute
$sec = $file.CreationTime.Second
