* The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client
* application using a sequence of key/value pairs. Like all strings in FFmpeg,
* metadata must be stored as UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Note that metadata
* exported by demuxers isn't checked to be valid UTF-8 in most cases.

* also meant semantically, i.e., a demuxer should not knowingly produce
* several keys that are literally different but semantically identical.
* E.g., key=Author5, key=Author6. In this example, all authors must be
* placed in the same tag.

* For example: Author-ger=Michael, Author-eng=Mike
