Description
Summary of the bug:
The reported creation time for video taken with a Nexus Galaxy phone (Android 4.0.2) is off by 66 years. As far as I can tell, this is due to the fact that the start of the epoch is assumed to be Jan 1, 1904 while the phone reports it as Jan 1, 1970.
In libformat/mov.c in function mov_read_mvhd, the version is 0 and the 32-bit creation time is 1340225911. In function mov_metadata_creation_time, the difference between the two epochs is subtracted from the time.
It is possible that the Android video just doesn't correctly encode the time but I still want to report this issue.
