Right, and I was on the team that picked MKV as the basis for WebM. We didn't include metadata at the time, but we are now in the process of revising the WebM spec, to support some form of metadata. > So whenever you > store tags in WebM they might get ignored, because all filters, which > are working close to the specs of WebM are not looking for them. Right, up until now there has been no official support for metadata. We are in the design phase of metadata support. > As far as I know there's noting that converts existing tags into > matroska tags. That would be still useful. For .mka, .mkv and .mk3d I was mostly interested in technical information, and examples of actual files that use tags, in order to figure out how the tagging system in Matroska works. If you can point me to anything like that, that would be helpful. > Support for metadata would be nice, but might violate the specs.
