Filter for extracting H.264/AVC metadata

Hi All,

I'm looking for a tool to extract my camera's metadata (datecode, timecode, user bit and esp. camera settings). It writes H.264 to either M2TS or MP4 format. Preferably an Avisynth filter, something like DVInfo. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot,
Francois

Hi fvisagie,

I'm assuming you're talking about your Canon HF G30 camera? Unfortunately I do not know of an AviSynth plugin to do this.
Does your camera write a THM file along with your recorded video? If so an alternate way of getting a complete metadata from your videos is by opening the THM file in JPEGsnoop or PhotoME.

For example lets say my Canon 7D writes a file named MVI_2645.MOV, the corresponding THM file with be named MVI_2645.THM.
With PhotoME I get the following metadata:

Disregard JPEGsnoop. It's not as extensive as PhotoME. (I meant to edit but the forum was down.)
