I find that pptx, xlsx, docx files do not have "Doc-modification" field. These are very common files and hope they can be supported.

I had no time to dig into your advice until today. I read the help file once again esp. the usage of ";", reviewed the "for" command, and finally got the work done. This is what I have find out working:

in command line,
for /R %f in (*.mp4) do MediaInfo --Inform="General;%Encoded_Date%" "%f" >%f.txt

in Siren, load sub directories, and rename according to expression
%fc.txt;%T1{%fc}.mp4

then in command line,
del /S *.txt (I have no other txt file)

Thank Rémi!

Thank you. CLI works that I find using:
mediainfo --Inform="General;%Encoded_Date%\n" D:\*.mp4
could generate the list of dates, but it seems additional work need to be done in order to make sure the list order is the same as in Siren. How "creating one metadata file per video" work?

I dowloaded MediaInfo from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/
In order to use the "%T" variable, I need to have a text file of such structure:

Time of file1
Time of file2
Time of file3
...

But MediaInfo seems do not have such option of export.

I have sent a small file for you to inspect. Hope you could find a way to get that "Encoded date" or "Tagged date".

All mp4 file from a phone cannot be renamed by shoot time.
Expression I use: %Xdo%Vn%VDd.%e, but new names are empty.

If allowed I can upload a sample.

I used "wizard" icon to build a expression for me: %Xdo, because most files were jpg. I just tried the adjacent all variables button and found video tag %Vn. I should play around with it a bit more before I post. Maybe there could be a universal date|time variable?

Thanks for the great software.

I want to rename a bunch of files from an iPhone according to the time stamps. Two file types: jpg and mov. But only jpg files got their new name, mov files did not.
