Thanks for your replies. To answer some questions:
[uSER=2403817]@rodeo_joe|1[/uSER] Obviously my camera time is set correctly, and is irrelevant to my problem which is a dependency between photos and videos. My settings are timezone=New York UTC-5, Format=Y/M/D and daylight savings time is ON. @Andrew Garrard i am in a timezone that is typically off of UTC by 4 hours, however this seems highly unlikely as currently we are 5 hours off, and its 4 hours in the wrong direction. The media created field is 9 hours off UTC. I only used windows explorer and drag and dropped the files. Are you suggesting that I robocopy my files in and use the date modified to generate the date created field? That could work well. [uSER=2403817]@rodeo_joe|1[/uSER] no intervening software. windows determines the date created to be the timestamp of when the file was created, not the original file, also that couldnt explain it, sometimes i copy files minutes after i shoot them, sometimes days, not always exactly 4 hours. The "Date" field is whats wrong...
Still photos all show the exactly correct times in all fields. Only videos are affected in this way.
