I have some problems adding metadata to a mp4 or mov container, not sure if
it's a problem in avformat or if I'm doing something wrong.
I'd like to have my metadata at the same level where I see "major_brand",
"encoder" and similar stuff with ffprobe.
To check the behaviour, I got the latest ffmpeg head sources and modified the
test program:
doc/examples/muxing.c
I simply added the line:
av_dict_set(&oc->metadata, "testKey", "testValue", 0);
just before av_dump_format (at line 601).
I compiled and run the program (tested both with .mp4 and .mov)
av_dump_format finds the metadata and prints....

I'm doing something wrong?
