Just for fun, I want to write myself an app to read metadata from media files and optionally rename them. The renaming part isn't all that hard, but I don't know how to get the metadata from an AVI or MPG file.

Any ideas?

Windows Media SDK. But that will only give you things like length, width, height etc.

EDIT: If you want a lib to read jpg image metadata, I have an easy to use one that I will gladly share with you. :)

I guess I was kinda hoping there was some kind of ID3 tags for video files. I'm thinking about just writing a plugin for WMP to read tags that I can add in with another program.
