Description

The attached video file has a title and keywords set via Windows Explorer. Those values show correctly in Windows Explorer. However I can't seem to access them with the metadata extractor library.

Research direction
Investigate how the library currently handles MP4 files. Check if there is existing support for IPTC/EXIF in MP4 containers (often embedded as XMP metadata). Look at the AtomicParsley or other MP4 metadata standards. Test with the provided video.zip file and trace the metadata extraction path.
