If it can't extract date properly, you've found a bug. Assuming you use
3.1.0 or newer trunk, what settings do you have in Settings->Configure
KPA->Metadata for reading dates? In default settings, KPA should try to
use exiv2 to read timestamp from EXIF data, fail because it's video and
use file's timestamp as a fallback. What ctime/mtime do your videos have?

I'm afraid there's no common standard for storing such medatata into
various media containers (AVI,...).

If you really need it, I can add a feature that will allow changing
file's mtime to the one specified in KPA, but it won't be default
because it might break some backup tools.
