The package's aim is to remove meta data from files. According to description it cannot remove meta data from vidoe files.
Is there software that can remove meta data from video files?

Invoke ffmpeg. Or avconv, whatever Trisquel has.

ffmpeg -i /path/to/input/file -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s copy -map_metadata:g -1:g -map_metadata:s:v -1:g -map_metadata:s:a -1:g -map_metadata:s:s -1:g /path/to/output/file

Thank you. Do you know how to from https://ffmpeg.org/?
Can you explain what meta data is erased?
Is geolocation?
Time and date?
Device id?

All of the metadata is erased, but don't take my word for it - run some files through and check it for yourself. :) For downloading, they offer "Linux Static Builds" that give you a copy of the program to put where you want.
