[cc-devel] liblicense: asf/avi support

[shawn]

I saw that on the wiki page there was a ? next to avi support in
liblicense.

There is a place meta information can be put in the asf 2.0 file format,
which most avi files are. (avi is not a format, only a file extension)
Many camera and cheap video recorders output video in asf 2 format,
encoded in wmv or mpeg-2.

"This object permits authors to record human-readable, pertinent data
about the file and its contents. This content is readily expandable to
satisfy varying bibliographic needs. Authors can supplement (or ignore)
the ?standard? bibliographic information (for example, title, author,
copyright, and description) with content designations of their own
choosing. Each individual field name and value can be stored in as many
different languages as are preferred by the author, and can be
stream-specific or pertinent to the whole file."

liblicense is not maintained but I added your reference to
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Liblicense/Metadata_Table#Table_of_File_Metadata_Information
which I don't think is indicative of what liblicense actually
supported.
