Re: Losing File attributes from DVR-MS to WMV

A few hours ago there was a similar request in the
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript newsgroup. About 37 minutes ago, I
posted a reply that might help you. It has not yet shown up on Google, so I
can't give you a Google link to the thread. The request was titled "How to
get the file version value", you should soon be able to Google it, or go to
the newsgroup. This VBScript group would also be a good candidate as a
newsgroup to search for scripts to automate adding the info to your WMV
files, using groups.google.com to limit the search to this particular
newsgroup.

The script I wrote works for WXP. I have not tried it on Vista, but I will
if you want. It can only access non-hidden file info. It lists all the
info that you can see when you display files in 'details' view in a folder
window. Only a few detail columns are displayed by default, but as many as
50 columns with various info are available. You might have to add the
column you need to the windows folder view window. If you still have the
original files, I think a script can get the info and add it to the
similarly-named WMV files. If the naming is different, it might be easy to
build a text file that contains old-name, new-name info, that the script
could use to get the info into the right WMV file.

If you want to pursue this, post a response.
