Unfortunately, the dates on these files are the dates they were downloaded from the camera rather than the dates of the videos ... making them difficult to track without using their "FlipS...." program.
OK, they're MP4 files, so they should conform to an MP4 standard. Hopefully that includes a date stamp embedded somewhere in the file. It may not be easy, but if I can find a specification on the MP4 standard, maybe I can write a little program to read the actual date and update the file dates to match.
So I do a little searching to find information on the MP4 format, and I find that it's available through ANSI (American National Standards Institute) at ansi.org. Here's what I found at their site:
http://webstore.ansi.org/RecordDetail.aspx?sku=ISO/IEC%2014496-14:2003
ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003
Information technology - Coding of audio-visual objects - Part 14: MP4 file format
ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003 specifies the MP4 file format as derived from ISO/IEC 14496-12 and ISO/IEC 15444-12, the ISO base media file format. It revises and completely replaces Clause 13 of ISO/IEC 14496-1, in which the file format was previously specified.
The MP4 file format defines the storage of MPEG-4 content in files. It is a flexible format, permitting a wide variety of usages, such as editing, display, interchange and streaming.

Need more than one copy of a standard? A Site License may be a perfect solution.
What? Seventy Seven dollars? I have to pay $77 to find out where the date stamp is located inside of a "standard" file? And from the implication in the "Site License" section, these must be copyrighted to protect anyone from actually sharing these "standards" without paying the royalty.
What kind of garbage is this? Does anyone think that our global competitors are paying $77 for every copy of these standards that they're using? Is it any wonder that we're losing our competitive edge in this country?
