Re: rewrite all tags
Thanks for the sample. The only questionable meta information I can see are some XMP tags which may cause problems for any application which reads the XMP. But exiftool can fix this. For your sample, there are a number of tags which exiftool doesn't write by default since they are protected, but when rebuilding the information, these should be included. Sometime I may provide an option to do this, but until then the protected tags have to be specified individually. So your complete command is like this:

exiftool -r -overwrite_original -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -interopindex -interopversion -all:ycbcrpositioning -all:compressedbitsperpixel DIR

A bit lengthy, but it should do the job.
