if, for example, you were to set -metadata year="1984", then the title would be blanked unless you also specified the title. if you name one metadata tag, you have to declare everything you want to use.
It's in the repositories, but I can't personally vouch for it.ĮDIT: one more thing with ffmpeg. If you want MKV files at the end of things, you could try MKVmerge. But the title is probably the one you care about, which seems most widely-supported. Here is a list of what formats can have what metadata, but that blog post is from 2009, so things might have improved by now (I'm sure I remember hearing about MKVs getting better metadata support.). For example:įfmpeg -i input.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -metadata title="title" -metadata series="series" output.mp4 Hopefully someone will be along with a better (gui) solution, and I know you specifically said you didn't want to use it, but ffmpeg(/avconv) is the only thing that immediately comes to mind. Is there any video geek out there in Ubu-land that has a known solution? What do folks use to create these files in the first place?Įasytag is for music file metadata, and from those links I gather the same is true of those other two programs. "ffmpg" as a command-line tool will not work this way, but it may be part of an app that does. VLC has an option that purports to work in some cases, but is not reliable, so I am looking for a Swiss-army-knife solution that can handle multiple formats (avi/wmv/mpg/mp4/etc/etc) in the manner that exfalso does for audio files. These tools work for most things, but occasionally, there is a video that has wrong or just verbose metadata and so far I have found no way to edit that stuff. I typically use Gwenview and gimp for photos and VLC and avidemux for video. I like nautilus for it's nice icon displays of photos and vids. I am currently using either 11.04 or 12.04 kubuntu. (String) desc: Comment: comment: A (short) comment on your. For a synopsis, please see the separate element instead. (String) alb: Description: comment: A (content) description of this video. (String) wrt: Album: album: The title or the name of this album. Seems to me, if there is a way to create the metadata in the first place, then there *must* be some way to edit it. (String) aut: Composer: composer: The name of the composer. That is what I am trying to get access to. Specifically, VLC for example, displays metadata text when it begins playing a file.
I opt for the shotgun approach here as I got really tired with VLC's quirks and just wanted to get rid of it's nonsense.I have been searching for some time for a way to edit metadata of a video file that is created along with the de-novo file. Should be easily googled when searching for FFMpeg metadata parameters I'm sure there's also a parameter to only strip something like the title metadata, if you really need to keep the rest. This creates a new file that has the metadata stripped away NOTE:: You'll want to keep the media type the same, so in my picture example I still need to change the field 'mp4' to 'mp3', so it matches the media type of the files I queued up in the list. Now, FFMpeg is obtuse and shitty to use (and I'm sure you can do something similar with VLC's options but the same goes for VLC - their settings are obtuse as hell) This effectively removes all metadata from the file(s) - and as a result VLC will opt to use the filename instead. You can remove all metadata by using FFmpeg with a parameter that sets map_metadata -1 I've been trying this for a bit but I wasn't able to get rid of that VLC quirk without just removing metadata all together, I actually had this problem myself as well.
