Metadata for video files

[Tech Patriot]

I'm wondering what others are using for adding metadata (keywords,
tags, etc) to various video file formats (containers). I'm planning
on adding our video source files to ResourceSpace such as MOD, AVI,
MPG (MPEG-2), MP4, FLV, MOV, VOB, and WMV and would like to add
metadata that RS (exiftool) can read and index correctly.

It seems there is no one tool out there that can add metadata to many
different video file types at once. Currently, I'm using Mp3Tag
(http://www.mp3tag.de/en/) to add metadata to MP4 files, but that's
about it and I'm having a hard time finding metadata support for other
video file formats.

Is my best bet to convert everything to MP4? What tools do others
use?

Thanks,
John

I found that Adobe Bridge CS5 is able to successfully add XMP data to
FLV, WMV, MP4, MOV, and AVI files that RS can read and match up with
titles, captions, keywords, and credits. VOB, MOD, and MPG formats do
not work, however.

Thanks,
John

I've been using MetaX on my Mac, though it's limited to MP4 only.

may be you should give frameline47 (mac only) also a try. it's mp4
only but it makes use of the mpeg7 standart.

Thanks Peter,

I'm running entirely on Windows, but I found a Windows port of it from
here:

I'll test it out, so thanks!

Thanks Jan,

I'm using a Windows platform, but frameline47 certainly looks
interesting. Maybe I should give a Mac a try too while I'm at
it? :-)

Thanks,
John
