I had a bunch of video files (.TODs - mpgv video, mpga audio) that were useless unless I converted them, so I did.

Once I converted them, the "Date Created" and "Date Modified" (that you see in the Finder) were obviously changed, since new files were created from the old ones. Is there an easy way to move the Metadata data for the dates from the old files to the new ones (preferably not manually)? The project I am doing is chronology-dependent, so being able to sort by date is essential.

I would be willing to convert all the files again, if there was a way to retain the metadatainfo through conversion in either a different converter.

I used ffmpegx with a program called "Quick Batcher" so I could batch convert the files. I'm on a Mac, with Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). Any help would be really appreciated!
