Description

EXIFTool is a great Perl tool to extract metadata from tons of different media formats, in particular video, audio and images:

Now that ExternalParser works, it's fairly easy to support this.

EXIFTool can be installed on Mac with:

$ brew install exiftool

On CentOS Linux, you can do:

$ sudo yum install perl-Image-ExifTool
