1 Download an .mp4 video from Twitter  
2 In Windows Explorer (windows 8.1), right-click on the filename of the file I just downloaded and examine the Properties | Details tag.  
3.None of the fields are modifiable.  
4 Open that directory in Mp3Tag, select that file, and enter a Comment.  
5 It shows in the Comment field in Mp3Tag.  
6. Save and close mp3.Tag,  
7. Examine the Details in Windows Explorer, the comment isn't there.  
8. Open mp3tag, the Comment is still there.

In all other instances, the data in the Comment field of mp3Tag is the same as the data in the Comment Field in Windows Explorer. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

thank you

I would first of all check whether the downloaded file is OK.  
See also this thread:

> I noticed a peculiar thing ... I configured Windows Explorer (Win7) to show the "comments" field so that I can see the comments contained in the "comments" field of my mp3 files. But that information does not appear in the explorer. However, when I go to the "property \ details" of the explorer and edit this field, the information begins to appear, even appear when I view it in Mp3Tag. The same does not happen if I edit in Mp3tag, which is very disappointing. I thought it was a matter of the…

I don't know, though, if that also applies to MP4 files.

The video plays fine.

I've never had this problem with mp3 files.

Unfortunately, this does not tell whether the rest of the file is OK.  
See e.g. here:

> As of today, i could no longer edit any tags for mp4 files, downloaded with the latest Audials22. mp3 is ok. I installed also the latest mp3tag - still no change. When saving any tag changes, the message comes up that the file could not be written. Subsequently there is a tmp file in the folder for each file for which write was tried.

So why does mp3Tag show the comment, but Windows does not?  
Are they looking at the same data?

You could ask the same question on a Microsoft site.

If you do not feel like examining your file, it may be easier, if you supplied it with a link to a file hoster or something.
