To use any format/standard would (and always* will) require manual metadata
authoring for all but the simplest metadata. Keep in mind that some of the
most basic metadata can't be inferred by the content at all.
Metadata standards are a Good Thing, but the lack of standards hasn't
prevented anyone from doing searchable video databases of Salsa moves.
After all, it's been possible to do this since you could hook a Mac Plus
up to videodisc player. It's just that nobody** cares.
