Hello,
I have a bunch of old personal HD movies from a video camera that I took back in 2008/2009. They are in a raw AVCHD format and I'm currently converting all of them into a H.264 (.mp4) format to not only save space but to be able to play from different devices. The conversion has been working great, but one thing I just realized is that now all of the created/modified times on the new files are recent dates. With this, I will not be able to tell when I originally recorded the videos if I decide to delete the old raw files. What I want to do is change the time/date on the new converted files to be the same as the time/date on the old ones. All of the files have the same name, only the extension has been changed.
I guess my question/suggestion is, would this be possible with a certain tool/program or possibly with some command-line/batch file wizardry? Or maybe something else already built into Windows 7 that I don't know about that can do this? I just need to change the attributes on the new files based on the attributes on the old files.
Thank you for your help. I know this may not be fully related to this forum but I wasn't sure where else to post. I appreciate any advice.
I'm here to help.
