I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

GPS info to MP4
Hello, I've tried to add GPS information to an MP4 file, and I'm getting "Error: Writing of MP4 files is not yet supported". That is a good error message and explains it well enough, but I'm wondering if MP4 files can't yet handle GPS information, or is it the case of ExifTool not yet having the ability? I'm hoping to address videos in a flex application via their spatial information. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jeff

Re: GPS info to MP4
I haven't yet seen GPS information in MP4 videos, but in AVCHD videos I have seen GPS embedded in the H264 video stream which is a codec also supported for MP4. As far as I know there is no public standard for this, but exiftool does extract GPS from the AVCHD H264 stream.

Re: GPS info to MP4
There are fields in the MOV container for gps and location data (MP4 seems to store multimedia metadata only). See the published standards for Quicktime. Interestingly, some photo cataloguing programs show the GPS data of videos as part of 'EXIF' panel but that does not seem right--can video containers hold EXIF? Claude

You may need to sav a MOV container under the MP4 container formats, check the process: How to convert mov files to .mp4
