Feature request: handle video files

[bellocarico]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Well it depends, if "unable to rename videos" is considered a problem then yes.

Describe the solution you would like

It would be great to have exiv2 able to rename video files too based on each video file built in information.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Using external tools like mediainfo and script up a rather fiddly procedure using touch to change the file date attribute based on Encoded date.

Video support has actually been removed from exiv2. There is a feature request to restore it -> https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/issues/1748 But so far nobody has had time to tackle it.
