Keep "date created" info from source file for converted file

Dear experts,

I want to convert multiple video clips into a common and up-to-date format. However, obviously I want to keep the date created info, since I want to keep the chronology of this video-memory of my life :-)

Is there any way to build a simple workflow for non-developers with HandBrake to achieve that goal? It does not seem to be out-of-the-box functionality. Same with all other converters I found on the market...

Thanks,
kind regards

Wernher

No, not with handbrake by itself. Most operating systems do allow you to script such a change.

Thanks Woodstock, this is what I feared. No idea about scripting... well, let's see...

You can add the created date to the file name if needed.

This should be under preferences.
