Adding Windows Properties on a Mac

[countrymike]

At my job I create a lot of files on a mac that then need metadata added later on a windows machine under the properties.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can add this data from a mac without booting into windows or using a virtual system?
Thanks!

What kind of files? What specific metadata?

 

[countrymike]

mostly .mpg files

Name, subject, author and comments under windows properties.

You can do all that with iTunes.

Nope.
Tried it, if you add the data in iTunes it does not show up on a PC when you right click>properties.
Also iTunes does not see already existing data.

MetaData for a file are stored in two places. On the filesystem and in the file. Media files generally support inclusion of MetaData in the file itself.

In the above case, you would need an editor specific to that file format as each kind of format specifies a different way to store and read the meta-data.

In the second case, where the meta-data is stored in the filesystem, you may be out of luck. As you would need access to that filesystem to read and write the meta-data.

H.264 file metadata can be modified using a number of commercial products.
