Is there a way to make the Flip camera record dates after year 2020 on new videos?

Question

The Flip 5.12 software seems to only allow setting the Flip camera's recording date up to the year 2020. Has anyone found a solution? Ideally an update to the software?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a solution to this issue. The Flip 5.12 software only allows setting the Flip camera's recording date up to the year 2020.

Answer 2

You can set the date to a year that uses the same calendar order as the current year, for instance; The calendar for 2017 is the same for 2023.

Answer 3

My solution is a variation of this line in powershell, this example adds 1 year to the "Last Modified" time stamp of the files after the fact. Increase as the years go on... ie set 2013 with the correct month/day on the flip, then use the script command to add +10 years:

Get-ChildItem | select fullname,lastwritetime,@{n='NewLastWriteTime';e={($.LastWriteTime).addyears(10)}} | foreach {(gci $.fullname).LastWriteTime = $_.NewLastWriteTime}
