Subject: CanonVRD tags written by Canon codec are not readable Exiftool
I discovered this issue using Windows Live Photo Gallery with latest Canon RawCodec v.1.7.0.56. 1. Install Canon RawCodec on Win7 x86 or x64. 2. Install Windows Live Photo Gallery from download.live.com 3. Run Windows Live Photo Gallery. Navigate to any of CR2 files. 4. Set Rating, add descriptive tags, Caption, Author, and or Geo tag. 5. Canon codec writes those updates to cr2 file under CanonVRD trailer. 6. Try to see what’s in CanonVRD: exiftool.830.exe –canonvrd Result: “Canon VRD : (Binary data 1453797 bytes, use -b option to extract)” “exiftool –canonvrd:all” shows nothing too. WicExplorer can see retrieve those values: \IMG_4998wlgp.CR2\Frame #0\Ifd Reader\700 (XMP Reader)\title (XMP Alt Reader) Metadata Values "x-default" (LPWSTR) "myCaption" (LPWSTR) \IMG_4998wlgp.CR2\Frame #0\Ifd Reader\700 (XMP Reader)\description (XMP Alt Reader) Metadata Values "x-default" (LPWSTR) "myCaption" (LPWSTR) \IMG_4998wlgp.CR2\Frame #0\Ifd Reader\700 (XMP Reader)\subject (XMP Bag Reader) Metadata Values 0 (UI4) "newTest" (LPWSTR)

Thanks for this report. Is there any way you can send a sample file to phil at owl.phy.queensu.ca ? I am not able to follow the steps you outlined to reproduce this problem. - Phil

Thanks for the sample. There is a new VRD record containing XMP that ExifTool was not decoding. I will try to add support for this to the next release. If I need anything else I will let you know.
