Media Created property not showing-disappeared and cannot be set. Error 0xc00d3e8e

I've just found this thread. My problem is that I have a handful only , of MP4 files where the media creation date is in the future ie 2036! So they always appear at the top of my preferred view in file explorer. and I get the "read only" error if I try to change it. Nirsoft file date changer program didnt help .  I have downloaded the EXIFtool as suggested but it isnt that user friendly as it requires command line use so hesitated,  I've tried it but can't get it to  work. The program instructions as seen  via their forum/website , don't seem to work for me. I suppose we will have to wait for the corrected Windows update or I will just rerender/convert the 2/3 affected files to new files and delete the previous ones.

I have a working solution. None of these worked for me.

If you are stuck with read-only field of movie media, (MP4) and want to change the "Media Created" date and time field, I'd recommend using ExifTool by Phil Harvey. https://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

copy the file into the same folder with the files you want to edit and get rid of the (-k)

open CMD as admin and use cd to go to the folder.

1- exiftool YOURFILE.MP4 (this shows all stored fields)

2- exiftool -CreateDate=YYYY:MM:DDHH:MM:SS YOURFILE.MP4 (bear in mind, it doesn't take into account daylight saving)

You can also do multiple files at once, you can find details on the tool's website.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply. 

I however sort my files with folders and the only meta data that gets messed up on my systems is the media created date of .mp4 files. And since I use programs that specifically use this meta tag, changing the file name will not have any effects.

Nevertheless your idea is a good way to preserve your information if the meta data gets messed with constantly. I will remeber it if Microsoft continues to disimprove Windows.

Thanks for the input.  Whatever Microsoft removed in build 1703 to1709 disabled the ability to modify the media creation dates on mostly iPhone files; live photos which save as .MOV and some .AVI files.  Build 1703 worked perfectly.  1709 gives the "read only error" message.  I'm using the insiders preview now and the error is "not implemented" If you remember when windows 10 first came out one of its features was being able to work with most media formats.  Not so nowadays.  It requires separate codecs from the store to even play .HEVC files.  1703 did not require any codecs.  I believe it's in the Metadata fields, windows isn't reading them correctly and the errors occur.  I do know that much more Metadata was being shown in build 1703 vs the latest builds.  Even iCloud for windows doesn't work anymore with the latest builds.  I'm not sure if its fixed yet or not, I haven't checked in on it lately.

That sucks that the issue still persists. However, some users have mentioned the issue as being resolved. Maybe they are looking at another metadata field? 

Either way, I've used numerous photo and vid editing software over the years and each handles the metadata differently. And there have been some disasters over the years where my carefully curated collection got messed up. One big mess up was when I was using Lightroom. So I learnt my lesson. I have started adding certain info to the file name itself. So irrespective of how many times the data gets transferred over the years to different disks, backups, multiple operating system version or types, or multiple editing programs used over the next many years to come, certain info that I like to preserve will remain. And as a rule of thumb once my file has been (very carefully) named, I do not change the name. 

5 basic things I like to maintain - Date, Time, Location, Camera and event. So say I took a picture on

• 10 Dec 2018
• at a random house
• with awesome Christmas lights
• at 613PM
• using a Nikon D7000

So - 20181210 1813****43.64256-79.38705 ND7 Xmas Lights

Hopefully this helps others out there to better organize for the future. There are many batch renaming programs out there that can rename files based on meta data. Other info like event or any special comments you will have to set in the program itself. 

PS: I know its a bit off topic, but I hope it helps.
