Metadata needed for Zune, Windows and Windows Phone #139

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I'm using MkvToMp4 from videohelp.com to remux MKVs to MP4s.
However, not all the metadata/tags it writes into MP4 are visible in Windows or 
Zune or Windows Phone. Apperantly, Windows uses VersionFileInfo structure in 
may files such as .EXEs, .DLLs etc to store information such as Company Name, 
File Version etc. That same block/API is used by Windows/Zune to store tag info 
for MP4.

mp4v2 should add this information also. Curreltly it's adding only Title 
attribute/tag.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Remux a MKV to MP4 using MKVtoMP4 from videohelp.com 
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MkvToMp4

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
All tags for Windows/Zune should be filled using FileVersionInfo block/API.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
mp4v2. Windows 7.

Please provide any additional information below.

It would surprise me if Microsoft would also use FileVersionInfo for MP4 files. 
Are you sure that this is the case, and that the tags aren't written in some 
other way? Microsoft's proprietary Xtra atom (see issue 113) seems more likely 
to me.
