Burn disc - 1970 creation date

I burn folders to discs from the menu ("Burn ABC to Disc"), which usually works fine except for one thing: the creation date on every single file is changed to 12/31/1969, which - not surprisingly - can show up as 1/1/1970 in the Terminal.
- The modification and acces times of the files on disc are correct.
- The original files have correct creation dates - seen both in the Finder and Terminal ("ls -lU").
Is there any way to burn discs that fixes this problem?
Thanks

The date is significant in Unix systems, is called "the epoch". You see, date and time are stored as an integer number counting the seconds that have elapsed since the 'start of time'. If the counter is set to zero, Unix thinks it has just been born, which is the first second of the first day of 1970: 1/1/1970, 0:0:1.
In your case, I have no idea why the creation date is reverted to that, while the modification and access dates are not. Perhaps someone else who has recently burned folders to disk can pipe in after checking the results, so we can pinpoint whether this is something isolated to your Mac or a a general Lion bug.

  • Is it possible to find the creation date of a CD/DVD burned on Mac OS 8.6 either on newer mac or Windows machine?

    I am cataloguing lot of my old music and data cds/dvds. Some of these were created on my old Mac (OS 8.6). I was wondering if there was a way to check the metadata on these discs on my current Windows machine or on a Mac that I have at work to get this information. When I pop the CD and DVDs into the windows machine the dates that show up in the explorer window are actually older than the burn. I assume this is the CD creation date and not the burn date. It's not a huge deal, but it would help me delve deeper into nerd-dom!

    One approach would be to have access to a Mac that can run the classic environment or has a pre OS X native installation. These should be able to read the files for dates of creation/modification. There is also SheepShaver that runs on OS X machines.

  • Is it possible to find the creation date of a CD burned in iTunes (or anywhere else)?

    Last night my wife asked me when I had burned an audio CD.
    I popped it into the iMac and did a Get Info only to discover that its creation and modification dates were yesterdays!
    I then tried it in Toast 11 under Disk Info and got no dates at all  .  .  .  just technical data.
    DVDs do  display the creation date in Get Info but not CDs.
    Is there any way to find out?

    I don't think you're going to be able to do this. The problem is that the data on an audio CD is in a special format (caslled Solomon-Reed Cross Interleave if you really want to know) in which eveything is in a single stream with special error protection, and a table of contents at the beginning listing where each track begins. When you put the CD into a Mac the Finder shows the tracks as AIFF files, but this is an illusion; since the Finder is doing this on the fly it shows them as created at the time of insertion (I don't know why you're getting 'yesterday'). If you drag them to the Desktop then they will be converted to AIFF in the process.
    I don't know what a PC does: but the CD's data isn't a computer-type file and doesn't contain the creation date, so it's academic.

  • How can I change the file creation date?

    I recently downloaded more than 1,000 photos from my vacation. I'm preparing to burn DVDs for a friend, and I noticed that when I copy the photos to the desktop, they don't all have the same date. I have read a couple of discussions here about the difference between photo creation date and file creation date, and I understand the difference. But something seems odd to me.
    For purposes of illustration, let's take two photos: "A" was taken with the camera in the landscape position (how one normally holds a point-and-shoot); "B" was taken with the camera held in the portrait position (rotated 90 degrees). The photos were taken on April 24, about three minutes apart, but not imported into iPhoto until May 19.
    In iPhoto, both files show the actual creation date. Yay!
    The problem is with the files after having been copied to the desktop.
    When copied to the desktop, the info panel for photo "A" shows April 24 for both the "created" and "modified" dates. Photo "B," however, shows May 19 for the "created" and "modified" dates.
    Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
    Is there any way to change this? I want the DVD to show the date the photo was created, not imported to iPhoto. Picky, I know … but I'm like that. 

    Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
    Correct.  Your camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata. When you import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it -  email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. So if you used the shot in a word processing doc, uploaded it to many Web site etc, the shot would come out sideways.
    iPhoto has nothing to say about File dates. There are various file utilities that will edit the dates on Files

    for instance. But there are otheers, search on  MacUpdate

  • How can i change the Creation Date of a video (mts-Format)?

    I work with Phohoshop Elements 13 an i use Online-Album (Revel)
    My Problem:
    I would like to change the Creation Date of a Video-File (mts-Format). I don't no why but the date (in Metadata) is wrong and i would like it to change. If i change it in Photoshop Elements the Date (Edit... Change Date...) it seems that the date has changed, but in reality in the Metadata is still the wrong date (see attachment).
    Why this ist important for me:
    The Adobe Revel (Online-Album) takes always the date from the metadata which is wrong.
    Any idea how i can resolve my Problem?
    How i can change the Metadata?

    Hi,
    Did you get help ? Or do you have a work around ? I have about 20.000 Pictures and countless videos to organize myself.
    I just ran into the same problem. Except that after a while Adobe will undo the changes I have made to the date.
    Here's a  screen shot I just made of one of the files.
    Look at this one ! This one is really interesting:
    After changing the date to : 1889 . Adobe changed it to 01.01.1970 00:59

  • Burning disc image with encryption

    I've been burning disc images thru idvd's interface for a while. I just noticed in disk utility the option of encrypting the dvd (AES-128), to prevent access to contents, files, etc., which might be useful when making customer copies.
    Is this something anyone is using?

    Are you referring to data dvd's?
    To the best of my knowledge, Data Dvd's may work well on your mac but they do NOT play back on most set top dvd players.
    It is possible to encrypt data to a dvd BUT it is Not possible to encrypt an entire iDvd (at least not in terms of preventing duplication /playback on a standard Dvd Player/recorder) in the same manner as a commercially pressed DVD function which are copy protected (CSS) when mass replicated.
    They are two entirely separate forms of encryption.

  • "The attempt to burn disc failed."

    Hi,
    I have an older MBP, from July of the first year they were sold...2006? Can't remember. Anyway. I am running tiger still and everything is up to date. 10.4.11, iTunes 7.6 etc etc....
    Anyway. My problem is, I can't get anything to burn!! Extended hardware test does not reveal any problems...
    Here is what is happening..
    I want to burn music so that I can play it in my car. I had a stack of 2 year old Sony CD-R's that I was using and they were perfectly, except I ran out of them. So I bought the same exact thing again...and iTunes spits out the cd and says "The attempt to burn disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." Ok so I tried another disc. Same issue. Then I went and took one of my brothers 2 year old Sony CD-Rs and it worked perfectly. So I exchanged my new stack of cds for the same thing, same issue and returned them.
    Since then I have burned a couple of movie DVDs on Sony DVD-Rs and they work fine. I have even burned data DVDs on Playo DVD-Rs.
    This evening I purchased a stack of HP Music CD-Rs and guess what! My computer spit them out and said the same exact error message!!!
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Is it a Tiger issue?
    It can't be hardware related because I have proven it can burn with no problem (just on older cds). Is it maybe a cd issue? Are newer cds somehow formated in a different way that will not work with my combination of hardware and software?
    Maybe I should just spend the $300 and get an ipod adapter installed in my car...
    Thanks

    Hi ASal,
    If your Optical drive is reading correctly then the report suggests that there is already data on that disc and it cannot be written to again. Needless to say, only a CD/RW can be burned to more than once. Your info suggests that it is definitely a CD-R.
    Double click your disc mounted on the desktop and see if there is any data on it. If there is then you cannot burn to it again. (Not without burning the data in "Sessions."-- A CD-R can have multiple burns in different sessions, but it cannot write over the top of already existing data. You will need a CD/RW if you wish to be able to completely erase and write again. See how you go. Hope this helps.
    It appears that your profiler is well able to SEE the CD-R, but you still might have CD Burn issues. Have you tried just burning data to a CD-R through the Finder to see if burns successfully..? If it does, then you should be able to burn audio through iTunes too. Make sure youre not trying to fit too much data on the disc too. That is a common error with people...
    Make sure the discs you are using are completely blank.
    Regards,
    Ben.

  • Recovery Disc Creator does not list any discs for creation

    Brand new NB200-10G (this a UK model). When I run TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator it does not show any discs for creation and the CREATE option is greyed out so I cannot create the discs. Now... when I first got it I did not have a USB DVD writer with me but I ran RDC out of curiosity to see the devices it might offer. At that time it DID list discs to be created but I cancelled out. I get the impression the program thinks it has created the discs and I believe I read somewhere that it will not create the discs more than once. I think it must have set a switch in the registry or .ini files somewhere to indicate that the discs have been created. If so does anyone know how to "undo" this? Drive D (data) and hidden partition *appear* to be intact.
    If this is not possible then I guess I could try the "press key 0 at power up" method to restore to original install setting and this might then enable me to create the discs but I'm concerned that if the restore fails in a destructive way that I might be left without a working PC. TIA Ken
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK all fixed!
    Restore using key 0 at power up worked fine and cured the ToRDC problem. It then let me produce 2 copies of the restore DVD. Don't know what caused the problem... issue CLOSED.

  • IPhoto changes the original creation date to 12/31/1969

    Hi folks, this is a problem I have been trying to resolve for a very long time.
    I have a large collection of pictures that I took with a Palm Zire 71 and Zire 72 going back to 2003. Every time I import the files with iPhoto (File > Import to Library), iPhoto changes the original creation dates of the jpgs to 12/31/1969. I have tried many different things... most recently I burned the files to a CD, confirmed that the original creation dates were still in tact, and tried importing with iPhoto right from the CD. I got the same result... all photos with the date 12/31/1969. All photos completely disorganized because of Palm's less than great file naming structure. I need to keep the creation dates intact for the iPhoto books I want to make with them, so changing the file names won't work as a solution. Even changing the files names to the creation dates plus a counter would be very difficult because it is over 1500 pictures. Does anyone else know of this problem and perhaps have a solution for it? Thanks!

    Thank you for the suggestion TD. But the Batch doesn't help in this case because so many of the photos were created on different days. I would still have to manually go into each of the creation dates and change them back to the original.
    That's just not feasible for 1500 files. iPhoto shouldn't be stripping the files of the creation dates at import to begin with. I'm hoping to find a way to get the import process to work properly for these files. The weird thing is that iPhoto doesn't seem to do this to files create on a more typical point and shoot camera,
    but only on these Palm files.

  • IDVD5 freezes during disc image creation

    iDVD(5.0.1) freezes at the "writing" stage of disc image creation.
    Video is imported to iMovie. I then make a 58 minute movie which I move to iDVD.
    After modifying the original iDVD file created by iMovie I "save as">new file name in another location on the hardisc.
    I quit iDVD, delete the original iDVD file, delete the playlist, restart, repair permissions, restart a 2nd time and then start iDVD.
    I open the 2nd iDVD file (the one I "saved as"), and then burn to disc image.
    The program goes through the first 4 menus and gets stuck on the "writing lead-in" phase. By stuck, I mean there is no activity for over 5 hours and I get the colored circle going around and around. I have done this before with a shorter, ~35 minute, movie with no problem.
    iDVD is set to "Best Quality".
    Any thoughts?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   2 GHz, 370 GB HD

    Hello Laszlo:
    Were you trying to make a disk image of just stills and no audio? (I quote Matti Haveri):
    - Sometimes iMovie HD 5.0.2 projects with only still images fail to burn in iDVD 5.0.1
    iDVD 5 sometimes has an error if it tries to encode an iMovie HD project consisting only of imported still images and no sound track.
    For example: I can produce the error when trying to burn this simple project: Create a PAL-DV project with iMovie 5.0.2. Import two 2048x1536 JPEGs to it with Ken Burns turned off. Send the project to iDVD 5.0.1 and let iMovie render the stills when it prompts it. Then encode the project as a disk image. At the very end of the encoding process there is an alert "Encoding Video. Error during rendering/encoding:" and making the disk image fails.
    The error can sometimes be prevented if a short video clip with audio is inserted to the beginning of the iMovie project. Sometimes this doesn't work and iDVD's error message at the end of the encoding is: "Errors were found during the burning process. The error #-1 was reported". (This applies to iMovie 5.0.1 and iDVD 5.0 -- I haven't seen this in later versions).

  • IPhoto file creation date inconsistencies during drag and drop

    I have noticed that if I drag and drop a photo from iPhoto to Finder, the file creation dates in Finder are inconsistent.
    (This question is related to drag and drop only and not File->Export, which always uses the export date and timestamp for the file creation date and thus does not suit my needs).
    TEST A -- If the EXIF DateTimeOriginated is 01/01/2013, and today's date is 03/03/2013, then:
    In some cases when I drag a file to Finder, the EXIF date is used as the file modification/creation date in Finder
    In some cases, today's date is used as the file modification/creation date in Finder
    In some cases, a date in between the EXIF date and today's date is used
    It appears that for case A1, these are files that do not have a modified copy.  That is, if you select the photo in iPhoto and then click "File" -> "Reveal In Finder", the "Modified File" choice will be greyed out.
    For cases A2 & A3, iPhoto has inexplicably decided to create modified versions of these files either today or sometime in the past.
    TEST B -- I have read that unexplained modifications are tied to the auto-rotate function in cameras, and it does seem to be the case when I performed the test below:
    Select a large group of landscape format photos (these would not have been auto-rotated), then drag and drop to Finder.  The file creation dates are set to the EXIF date
    Add some portrait photos to the group in (1).  Now the file creation date of ALL photos including the non auto-rotated photos are set to the current date
    The behaviour in B2 is clearly wrong, since the landscape photos should be the same as in B1.  This is bug #1.
    Furthermore, iPhoto appears to be inconsistent with when these modifications are made.  For example, I dragged & dropped an auto-rotated photo on 02/02/2013, then dragged & dropped it again today, then the file creation date in Finder (and also the date of the modified file in iPhoto, as shown in iPhoto File->Reveal In Finder->Modified File) can either the EXIF date (01/01/2013), the late of the last drag & drop (02/02/2013), or today's date (03/03/2013); there does not appear to be any rhyme or reason to this.  This is bug #2.
    In any case, saying "you should never use drag & drop in iPhoto" (as I have read in some other forum posts) isn't a solution, because Apple should either (a) support this function correctly or (b) remove it altogether.  Furthermore, I regularly burn photos to disk for others so having the file date and timestamps correctly set to the EXIF date helps keeping the photos sorted in the directory listings for multiple OS, so File->Export isn't a solution.

    File data is file data. Exif is photo data. A file is not a photo.  It's a container for a photo.
    When you export you're not exporting a file. You're exporting a Photo. The medium of export is a new file. That file is created at the time of export, so that's its creation date. The Photo within that file is dated by the Exif.
    There are apps that will modify the file date to match the Exif.
    The variation you're seeing is likely due to the changes in how the iPhoto library works over the past few versions. Drag and drop is handy, but is not a substitute for exporting, nor intended to be.

  • Burning TS folder as Data DVD vs. Video DV. Is there a difference?

    Is there a difference between burning a Video_TS folder as a Data-DVD vs. a Video-DVD in a program like Toast?
    I'm experiencing a wierd problem with a client where my discs only play on computers and not on DVD-players and I wonder if I may have burned the folder as a DATA DVD instead of a Video DVD and that is the problem...
    Does this make sense or am I a complete loon?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for the link and quick response. I did use Toast
    When I was working on this proj a few monthes ago, I remembering giving them a "Master" disc with the TS folder in it. I'm currently wondering if perhaps I burned it as a DATA disc because (according to my thinking, let me know if its incorrect) that a TS folder burned as DATA would be of higher quality than a TS folder burned as Video, should they ever need to have it replicated.
    Come to find out they had the disc duplicated in-house. And those discs (including my Master) will only play on computers not DVD players... which seems to be consistent with a DATA disc. They inspected the disc and the folders/files look to all be in place so its kind of a mystery. Again, this seems to be what would happen if I burned a DATA instead of VIDEO: all the files would looks to be in place.
    Thoughts?
