Date-Time Format

Based on a subset of ISO 8601

・YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss Z2024-01-20 03:45:08 Z
・YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss ±hh:mm (±hh:mm is time zone)2024-01-20 12:45:08 +09:00
・YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss2024-01-20 12:45:08
・YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm2024-01-20 12:45
・YYYY-MM-DD hh2024-01-20 12
・YYYY-MM-DD2024-01-20
・YYYY-MM2024-01
・YYYY2024

※ 1
In the actual recorded data, there is a 'T' between DD and hh. For better readability, AV Metadata Edit doesn't display the 'T'.
For example, the recorded data '2024-01-20T12:00:00+09:00' is displayed as '2024-01-20 12:00:00 +09:00'.

※ 2
In ID3 tag v2.4, the date-time items are written in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated: +00:00). It is not possible to specify or write the time zone.
For example, '2024-01-20 12:00:00 -07:00', you should write '2024-01-20 19:00:00', in UTC

※ 3
In the official documentation of QuickTime metadata, the format example for "com.apple.quicktime.creationdate" is shown as '4/21/2012'. However, AV Metadata Edit adopts the commonly used ISO8601 format mentioned above, especially prevalent in videos captured on iPhones and other devices.
