MetaX looks to be the best to support all formats, but its not free, but for a measly $10 its a deal for what it can do.

Kodi also looks to now support tags in video file metadata.Īnd this is a good article on the topic as well. With MKVTagger there are plugins in Media Portal 2 that support the tags it writes to the video files and I assume this works with its search function (i.e. I have not looked at this program personally so I cannot vouch for its reliability but perhaps someone else can comment on that. You must manually enter all the data)ħ) Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate (MKV, MP4) Also does not support searching any online sources to auto fill.

Order ranked higher if support MP4 and MKV and if can pull metadata from sources like tmdb, etc.ġ) MetaX (MP4, MKV and others) - Not free, 10 USDĢ) Mp3tag (MP4, MKV - added in v2.85, but Matroska covers not yet supported)ģ) MKV & MP4 Video Manager (MP4, MKV) - Not free, 25 EUROĦ) JMkvpropedit (MKV only. These are top options I have found over years of research. I'd like if someone could offer something they've actually used and not just a link, but I'll take what I can get. I don't mind if it is Linux or Windows based as I use both. Some examples of programs I've tried that do let me edit tags in at least some formats but either won't let me save the data to the file or search tags are: If it doesn't I'll lose tag data, which would be a waste of time. I've determined that if the program won't save the data to the file, which is preferred, than it is very important that the program can recognize if a file has moved or renamed.

Putting the tags and information in the file name would both be slow and not useful as some names would become too long to make transfers and such easy. I want to add people's names to home videos and some extra information.think Picasa, or Shotwell, or Adobe Bridge but for videos. I know windows has some of this functionality but it is a slow process when you want to add lots of different tags for lots of videos. I'd like something that I could also search after I've added tags to my videos so I can find them again, and it would be preferred that the data is written to the files directly.

What I want is a GUI based video tagger.specifically the more formats the better but MKV, MP4, and AVI are very important. I've looked all over and tried a few different solutions.
