Thanks a lot! ExifTool is a great tool but indeed unfortunately doesn't come with a GUI for us Maccers. I've made a Folder Action using AppleScript in the past to have a folder on my Desktop on which I can drag&drop images e.g. from a browser window that will then instantly show a complete listing of the EXIF info. There are of course various browser plugins that do more or less the same, but none of these provide the depth of information that ExifTool provides (such as lens used). The AppleScript can be found here: http://www.onemorething.nl/community/topic/exiftool-applescript (Explanation is in Dutch...) Regards, Pieter. Hi Klaus,

Excellent posting! Thanks a lot!

If you search for "avi" you will already find lots of useful information. And Phil puts a lot of effort into answering new questions personally, so don't be afraid to ask. Best regards, Klaus Hi Karl,

I suspect what I am trying to do is possible, but I am failing! (perhaps it's impossible!) What I am trying to do is: Extract the file name, date stamp, and time stamp from each video in a folder of AVI files, and drop these into an excel spreadsheet, with each row of the spreadsheet being the data extracted from each file. I am working with Wildlife camera-trap images and video files, and part of the data-gathering exercise is to know when (date and time) an animal was photographed - so I am working with 1000s of files each month, and currently have to manually enter date and time for each image into the excel spreadsheet.
