Is there any way to keep the file attributes (e.g., creation date) the same when converting a video using MPEG Streamclip? If creation date is lost, iPhoto won't organize the files correctly by time. If there's not a way, what's a good program to change the date back, since Finder won't let you edit file attributes?

1. You are of course creating a new file when you convert, ergo the new file has a creation date of the moment you created it. Naturally.

2. iPhoto itself has a change date/time function that can even alter the original file.
