AVI Tags

[danhi]

I'm including support for AVI and MKV files in my Meta tagging program, MetaX for Windows (http://www.danhinsley.com/metax/metax.html). I've finished the code to read/write the tags, but would like to know what tags I can use that VLC will recognize. I found one post about MKV files that indicated that VLC recognized:
"TITLE", "ARTIST", "GENRE", "COPYRIGHT", "DESCRIPTION", PUBLISHER",
"URL", "PART_NUMBER, "TOTAL_PARTS", "DATE_RELEASE"

but I haven't found the equivalent for AVI files.

Also, I'd be interested in working with someone to get VLC to recognize a larger set of tags. I looked at building the VLC Player and getting involved that way, but since I'm a Windows/Visual Studio guy, it didn't seem like this would be very easy.

Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

It appears that there are more here than the current UI supports. Are the extras just going to show up in the MetaData tab like they do for MKV files?

Is there a way to get a beta of 2.1 so I can start testing it? Any idea as to when it might be released?

Thanks,
