It seems ffmpeg fails to extract most of the metadata as well, as it
doesn't recognize thing like camera model as well.
I think about a workaround by copying (using ffmpeg) the video to another
container format which is better supported by ffmpeg/digikam and then
copying the metadata using exiftool.

I've tried:
  ffmpeg -i video.mts -c copy video.mp4
  exiftool -tagsFromFile video.mts video.mp4

But still digikam won't read the creation time and other metadata. Any
other recommended format?

Thanks,
Guy
