I read about calibre and it seems capable to do what we need, there is also
the possibility to use a command-line interface (ebook-meta). I am going to
add to the definitive version of the proposal.

Have you considered using Hachoir? It pretends to support a great

I had a look at Hachoir, it seems to manage the metadata for the
Microsoft RIFF (Avi, Wav, Cda),
that are interesting to add. However I did not completely understand how the
tool permits to edit
the metadata. Anyway I think to cite the library in the proposal
(maintaining the ffmpeg citation)
but I believe this case is going to be the first study that I'll do (if the
proposal is accepted).

I am going to send last version of the proposal to the proofreader before
the
upload, please let me know if you are interested in reading it before the
deadline.

In any case I want to thank you for all the hints and the patience.

Bye,

Antonio
