I recently created a custom .flv player for a client. Well turns out it was a little to “creative” for what she wanted. So she’s using free download to play the .flvs…well ok. When she asked about the embedded metadata, I was pretty sure Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder inserted most of the pertinent metadata since my player could seek, etc. But I wasn’t exactly sure. So by:
// Trace the metadata.
nStream.onMetaData = function(myMeta) {
for (var i in myMeta) {
trace(i + ":\t" + myMeta[i])
}
I was able to output and present the metadata to the client.
My question is …How would I get other metadata inserted, such as copyright, etc. I got a couple of leads from
http://www.devx.com/webdev/Article/31420

But I’d like to hear other advice.
Is any of that type of metadata searchable by robots or is that another matter altogether?

Did you try FLVtool2? Google it.
