Updating Metadata in video files (windows media and ogm)

jfroebe has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I would like to update the meta data (Title, Artist, etc) of Windows Media (wmv and avi) as well as ogm files. I'm looking at possibly using Video-Manip but it seems a bit overkill. Looking on cpan shows lots of extractors of the information, but nothing for solely updating the info.

Does any one have experience with Video-Manip and any gotchas I should worry about?

Maybe you need to write one. I know it's something I'd be interested in! I would suggest taking a look at the various "extractors" you mention and see how they get the information, then it should be fairly easy to put different strings in there. - - arden.	[reply]

Hi Arden, That's what I was thinking but didn't want to reinvent the wheel if I didn't have too... I'm a lazy SOB at times ;-) Jason L. Froebe No one has seen what you have seen, and until that happens, we're all going to think that you're nuts. - Jack O'Neil, Stargate SG-1	[reply]
