Batch modify MP4 video dates
Solved

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know of a tool, app, or command line for Windows or Linux to batch modify the modification and creation dates to match the creation date of the media (Media created).
ATTRIBUT CHANGER does this very well for photos, but it takes the EXIF attribute (date taken) which video files don't have.
Thank you

Hello,
The only tool I see is ExifTool, but the result is not guaranteed, as the exif data is not standardized in an mp4 file.
https://exiftool.org/
Creation, modification, and last access dates are managed by Windows and are independent of additional exif data.
If a simple batch manipulating these attributes is not available, we can try it this way:

"""CHANGE ATTRIBUTE does this very well for photos but it takes the exif attribute (date taken) that video files do not have"""
That's a reply, thank you!
But "alldates" would correspond to the French equivalent of "Media created"?
No,
Read the documentation in the links:
https://exiftool.org/#shift
Commonly, in JPEG images, the DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate and ModifyDate values must all be changed. For convenience, a Shortcut tag called AllDates has been defined to represent these three tags. So, for example, if you forgot to set your camera clock back 1 hour at the end of daylight savings time in the fall, you can fix the images with: exiftool -AllDates-=1 DIR The -AllDates switch represents all 3 of the above exifs, provided they exist in the target file.
If I apply it to FileCreateDate, I declare that these 3 values, if they exist, will take the value of the FileCreateDate attribute.
I had forgotten about Exif tool!
I'll have to read up and translate!!! :-)
But I'm a small fry, Nirsoft looks pretty good...
Let's give that a try
Thank you
Nirsoft, to continue in English, is "self speaking".
Exif Tool is not, but there are good tutorials in French with examples of the appropriate commands, for instance here.

Brucine, you are the best!

It's the simplest.
Adding my 250 videos to a list, 3 checkboxes, and that's it!
In summary
Attribute changer (I prefer) for photos
BulkFileChanger for videos
