LinkOpensChest_wav,

Haven’t heard of either one of these, thanks! Musicbrainz Pickard looks pretty intuitive based on the screenshots, and I like that it’s also available for Linux. I’ll try that one first.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I’ve downloaded FFmepg in the past, but I’m too dull and non-techy to understand it. I’m bound to royally fuck up anything in command prompt. Is there a setting I can use in Windows to allow me to remove the metadata by right clicking like I can with documents or images?

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Thank you!

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I figured out I can send it to myself on Molly, and the metadata will be automatically removed, but surely there’s a better way to do this very basic thing?

Later, I’ll have access to my laptop that runs Linux, so I’ll see if it works there to do it in a more civilized manner.

LinkOpensChest_wav, (edited )

I finally got around to trying it, and I’ve realized that the “open with” option is absent from the right-click menu for some reason. I’m trying to find out why, but so far no luck. I checked the registry key, and it’s intact and should be giving me the option. I hate Windows.

Edit: So after a lot of searching, I discovered that I must have had Notepad++ set up wrong, because I found a registry entry from Notepad++ in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ .bat

I didn’t want to just delete the value, so I ended up uninstalling Notepad++ from my PC entirely, and the “open with” option returned, and the registry entry disappeared. Notepad++ is a popular app, so I feel like a lot of the people I found by searching who have the same problem might have this app installed with the registry entry to remove “open with” from the .bat file extension specifically. I knew something was up because I tested other files on my PC, and “open with” was still there. So frustrating, but your solution works now! Thanks!

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I’ll try this, thanks! It’s really surprising though that you can’t just delete the metadata like you can with a normal file. Is there something unusual about mp4 format that disallows this?

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I just used it. It was easy enough to edit/remove metadata, which is all I want to do for now. It reminds me a bit of a Windows 95 era app, which is the time period when I became acclimated to Windows software.

Anyway, it took just a few seconds to do what I want to do. I’m still quite baffled why removing/editing metadata in a mp4 is unsupported in Windows. It seems like such a basic thing.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Hi, Thank you so much for your help, but when I double click the .bat file, it just opens it inside Notepad++

I made sure to select “all files” and use the .bat extension, but no dice.

Any idea why?

Here’s what my folder looks like with the mp4 renamed “INPUT.mp4”

Here’s what my .bat document looks like

I’m lost…

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I too am sorry for the late reply, but thank you so much! I’ll try it again asap.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I totally agree with you about Windows. Even Microsoft’s forums are generally unhelpful if you don’t want to use their OS they way they think you should use it. I’m gradually switching to Linux and will not be using Windows 11. Whatever minor conveniences I may miss out on are worth moving to an OS built with users in mind and with a friendly community of people who are actually helpful.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Hmmm well for some reason I was under the impression that ad nauseum can be used alongside uBO, but I see now that it can’t so I guess I’ll keep uBO since I’ve got a ton of custom filters, but this was insightful so thanks.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Oh sorry I didn’t realize we are legally mandated to eat out at places that use Nestle products, my bad.

The statement that it’s impossible is entirely wrong.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

hasn’t at least had a McDonald’s shake or something

What they’ve done in the past is irrelevant. If they choose to forgo Nestle products from this day forward, then it is possible.

Are you legally mandated to go shop at the grocery store? No?

I never argued that one was legally mandated to shop at a grocery store. Whether one shops at a grocery store or not, one can consult a list and therefore not buy Nestle products. This is quite simple.

Then why would you posit that response?

Just as an example of how it is possible not to buy certain products, regardless of how ubiquitous they are.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

So then you admit that it’s definitely possible, and not impossible, to avoid Nestle products

LinkOpensChest_wav,

If the idea of consulting a list and calling ahead to a restaurant is too hefty of a concept for you to hold onto, then yes I can see why there’s going to be a disconnect. Let’s just go our separate ways, and I feel confident that eventually you’ll get there.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

While I genuinely feel bad for economically disadvantaged workers with long commutes in used vehicles, I can’t help but notice most of the complaints about fuel prices come from people who: A. Shout down anyone trying to improve public transportation infrastructure by saying it can’t work in rural areas (it can, and has), and B. Own outrageously large personal vehicles that guzzle gas and houses with 2+ stall garages.

I’ll listen to complaining from anyone who doesn’t fall into one or both of these two groups.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Thanks for providing an example of the type of person I’m talking about. You sound just like their self-centered asses! Good satire.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I don’t believe the glasses you linked will do so either lol

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I doubt they work, and they’re definitely not worth the price imo

I can get a pair of prescription sunglasses for less than that
