If I use ARen V3 then Exiftool reads the image height and duration of my >4GB MP4s without any error.

If I use ARen V4 then Exiftool doesn't give any information and shows the following error "End of processing at large atom (LargeFileSupport not enabled)". Unfortunately, the ARen video duration tags also fail so I can't use those.

I've tried using the exiftool.exe from v3 in v4 but that doesn't help, so I can only assume that ARen isn't passing the largefilesupport=1 (2?) parameter to Exiftool?

V4 is passing the exact same parameters as a V3, except V4 also adds the -fast parameter. So I would assume large file support is enabled.

I'm not sure if it will help resolve the issue, but here's a picture of the warning from exiftool:

I have no problem with MP4 files <4GB.

You are right. I tested it with a non video files >4GB, and it worked. When I tested it with a MP4 >4GB, it did not work. Or ... it's actually more complicated. It depends on where the metadata is located in the file.

I have found a fix for version 4.12.
