Hi I have a directory with more than 200 quicktime files (mov). I need to extract from them their metadata. Which tool is good? Thanks

I don't entirely understand your question. Do you want to cleanse the metadata, or select the files based on their metadata.

What aspects of the metadata interests you, Date, Codecs, camera?

I think he is looking for options to extract the meta data from all 200 quicktime files.

Is there a tool that works better with quicktime?

Yes I would like to know a tool that return metadata (data, camera and others) of all files. I now exiftool, but I am not sure it works on an entire directory.

Yes it does. Just specify the directory name on the command line, and add -r to also scan sub-directories.
