I just noticed this problem with several video files in the finder:
When I click on the file, the Information being shown is completely wrong. Instead of the video file information, the information matches some song in the library.
In the photo example, the video is a Miss Marple episode that I ripped from my DVD collection. But the Finder has it listed as a Jackson 5 song.

You might try to rebuild Spotlight index.
If that fails, check what tags your app uses with a command like:
exiftool -a -G1 -s -n -api LargeFileSupport=1 -api QuickTimeUTC=1 -MacOS:FileCreateDate -System:FileModifyDate -QuickTime:CreateDate -Keys:All -UserData:All -ItemList:All movie.mp4
For .mp4 macOS 13 Finder > Get Info displays:
as Title:
Keys:DisplayName
as Description:
Keys:Description
as Keywrds:
Keys:Keywords
as Authors:
Keys:Author
as Location:
Keys:GPSCoordinates
Similar tags are also in UserData and ItemList but Finder does not show them.

Thank you so much for responding.
Rebuilding the Spotlight Index fixed the problem!
You might contact the developer of whatever software you used to rip the DVD.
Finder Information for several files is completely wrong
