How to Fix Video Metadata

Metadata describes video characteristics such as title, type, language, release date, genre, and so on, and it aids in the sorting and organization of your video collection.

Step 1
Select Media Metadata from the drop-down menu.

Go to the Toolbox section on the left-hand side of the installed Wondershare UniConverter software on your PC. Select Fix Media Metadata from the list of supported options.
