question re VLC

[MacBH928]

On the same site there is an app called Tag Stripper that takes out all metadata for audio files

Metadatics is hands down the best

I love when I find apps like this that it does what you want, unfortunately many of these apps are hard to find and the developer usually abandons them after some time.

here is a more elaborate explanation of the problem I am trying to solve.

1. here are three sample video files - these are the file names, copied from the finder:

Carol Burnett 'ladies who lunch' (Sondheim COMPANY) w Valerie Harper, Vicki Lawrence CAROL 1974-02-17 [ADF3] WFe.mov

Kaye Ballard as Molly Goldberg 'go in the best of health' (MOLLY, Leonard Adelson, Mack David, Jerry Livingston) CAROL 1973-01-27 [ADF3] WFe.mov

Valerie Harper 'the last blues song' CAROL 1974-02-17 [ADF3] WFe.mkv

2. here is what they look like in VLC - I have no idea where the title "films" comes from - it doesn't seem to be anywhere I can find in the meta date (looking in METADATICS)

3. here is what METADATICS shows me ... but even after saving (at least I think I saved properly), VLC still displays only the not-very-helpful info "FILMS."

argh! still no answer to this problem ... and METADATICS apparently does work for MP4 & MOV but not any of the other formats I work with.

thanks again for suggestions!

interesting...
I tried adding video files to a playlist and I get the title names. What do you see when you play the file and hit "cmd+i"... do you see the word "Films" anywhere? Could you upload the file somewhere I would like to test it on my setup.
