I'm looking for advice and whether what I want to do is possible.
I've been ask to create something similar to ID3 mp3 tags that can be used with MPEG 2/MPEG-TS video files. Because I'm a crude individual, I was thinking of just dumping some sort of XML structure within the file itself. However, this causes problems with applications trying to decode/play the video file as the app is not expecting XML/ASCII data in the file.
I'm not sure whether it is possible to have some sort of END OF FILE 'command' that can be amended to the end of MPEG files, and I can dump my XML after that part.
Compatibility wise, I only need avoid the video file from 'breaking' any commercial app that is reading it. The tag information will be parsed by an application I have yet to write.
Any ideas? Or is what I'm suggesting impossible?
Thanks.
