[HELP] Keep "Date created" when encoding single file

[ThoStaKa]

Hi.

I have several hundreds of videos that were filmed with Samsung HMX-H104 some years ago. The problem with the video files is that the PAR value seems to be set incorrectly so that all the videos are squished to something like 2:1.

I have had great success with setting the output PAR to square pixel with MP4Box bat-file with the following code (drag-drop .bat file)'

@ECHO OFF

:LOOP

"C:\Program Files\My MP4Box GUI\Tools\MP4Box.exe" -par 1=1:1 %1

SHIFT

IF [%1]==[] GOTO END

GOTO LOOP

:END

I am looking for explanation on how to achieve this in Hybrid AND ALSO keep "Date created" equal to the input file.
Do you have any recommendations on how I might solve this?
Regards
Thomas

Hybrid will always create a new file and not overwrite the existing one.
Changing the PAR would be easy, but Hybrid does not support any way to change the creation date (keep it from the input).

Thanks for your link . It looks like MP4box or Hybrid is unable to do what I am looking for.
I ended up writing a script for PowerShell that uses the original file times and writes these to the edited files. It's a tedious process, but hopefully I will never have to do this again.
