+The FFmpeg metadata format is a simple UTF-8 encoded INI-like text file intended
+for easy manual editing of metadata and inserting them into a multimedia file.
+
+The file format is as follows:
+
+    * a file consists of a header and a number of metadata tags divided into
+      sections, each on its own line.
+
+    * the header is a ';FFMETADATA' string, followed by a version number (now 1).
+
+    * metadata tags are of the form 'key=value'
+
+    * immediately after header follows global metadata
+
+    * after global metadata there may be sections with per-stream/per-chapter
+      metadata.
+
+    * a section starts with the section name in uppercase (i.e. STREAM or CHAPTER)
+      in brackets ('[', ']') and ends with next section or end of file.
+
+    * at the beginning of a chapter section there may be an optional timebase
+      to be used for start/end values. It must be in form 'TIMEBASE=num/den',
+      where num and den are integers. If the timebase is missing then start/end
+      times are assumed to be in milliseconds.
+      Next a chapter section must contain chapter start and end times in form
+      'START=num', 'END=num', where num is a positive integer.
+
+    * empty lines and lines starting with ';' or '#' are ignored.
+
+    * metadata keys or values containing special characters ('=', ';', '#', '\'
+      and a newline) must be escaped with a backslash '\'.
+
+    * note that whitespace in metadata (e.g. foo = bar) is considered to be a
+      part of the tag (in the example above key is 'foo ', value is ' bar').
+
+    * a ffmetadata file might look like this:
+;FFMETADATA1
