This is my first post so bear with me. In some casework I perform, I come across images and videos that have a the normal created/modified dates with EXIF data identifying the device utilized. I utilize MediaInfo to identify the the encode date of media files of interest. I am finding that some of the media files are encoded on a date prior to observable creation/modified dates. Is it possible to incorporate the aspects of MediaInfo into the ingest of media files? MediaArea is the developer of the opensource tool. [https://mediaarea.net/](https://mediaarea.net/)
