Metadata Nightmare [VLC] / AVIDemux Batch Manipulation?

[justaregularjoe]

Having some issues with annoying Metadata in some AVI files. I just want to remove the title (as in what shows up in the VLC window when you have title info AND the file name) and the comments.

When I tried Metadata Hooteneany, it converted them all to .mov, I guess, so when I tried to reopen them, not only was the metadata still there, but there was no audio.

When I used VLC to "Window">"Media Information..." and delete the metadata and "Save Metadata"'d, it did nothing when I reopened the file. Metadata was still there.


Grrr. Any new ideas for removing metadata without re encoding the files?

I found a possible solution. I am using AVIDemux to simply open and save the files and appending "fix". This removes all of the metadata (and, quite helpfully, the subtitles.)

Any way I can use AVIDemux in a batch format? Especially since all I am doing is opening and saving them as %filename%fix.avi.
