Unfortunately there is no human readable settings information in the GoPro MP4 file. However there are few bits that contain the camera's information. Hypoxic wrote a tool to extract the GoPro settings and the times of the highlight tags.

This tool was made for the GoPro HERO4 but may work for older cameras. Leave feedback on HYPOXIC's Facebook page or git repository if you have suggestions.
