This is a simple command-line tool I coded in a few hours to set the file creation time of a movie produced by a Canon Powershot A80 to the time when the move was filmed (as opposed to when the movie was copied over from the camera). This tool may work for other models or even cameras, but I've never tried. The movie time already exists in the .avi header, so I simply set the file creation and modification times on the file system.
The code is written in C/C++ and currently works only on Mac OS X, but it is trivial to make it work for any flavour of Unix by changing the API call.
