I have a nice Sony HDR-SR11 HD handycam. With this great camera a tool called PMB which I use to import the videos from the cam to the harddisk. The tools have a nice Calendar view, which show the video chronological.

And here is the problem. I determines the created date from the files created date. Fine, BUT when importing the videos a folder with the current date is created, all video placed into that folder with at creation date = current date. Noooot good.

Luckily the handycam incorporates the exact shooting date in the filename down to the second, so I created a small utility to take the date from the filename, and correct the creation date / shooting date.
