Since, the files are movies, there are no EXIF, IPTC, or XMP data.
Furthermore, the shown "created"-date is years after making the movies.
Probably, the date is the day when I copied the files to the hard drive.
But the problem is that I cannot reproduce the date in a terminal,
therefore, I have no idea how I could adjust this date to the real
creation date.

Maybe, someone could tell which C++ function is used to determine the
creation date if no metadate can be found. This could help me to find a
way to adjust all creation-dates in a batch process.

Thanks a lot!
