## QuickTime Tags

The QuickTime file format is used for MOV and MP4 videos and QTIF images. Exiftool extracts meta information from the UserData atom (including some proprietary manufacturer-specific information), as well as extracting various audio, video and image parameters. Tags with a question mark after their name are not extracted unless the Unknown option is set.

## QuickTime InfoList Tags

As well as these tags, the 'mdta' handler uses numerical tag ID's which are added dynamically to this table after processing the Meta Keys information.

## QuickTime UserData Tags

Tag ID's beginning with the copyright symbol (hex 0xa9) are multi-language text, but ExifTool only extracts the text from the first language in the record. ExifTool will extract any multi-language user data tags found, even if they don't exist in this table.
