Add support for video

• avi !25 (closed)
• mp4 !27 (merged)
• wmv done in 8e84ba54
• mov: Not really doable for now, since Exiftool can't write most of the metadata, and ffmpeg isn't removing/cleaning a lot of them.

changed milestone to %0.1 - Turtle

added fileformat label

This will likely be done via exiftool, since there is no maintained, python3, usable, … lib in python to deal with this.

MKV aren't writable by exiftool.

Gstreamer looks a bit complicated.

I think that ffmpeg is a (the?) way to go, with something like this:

ffmpeg                \
  -i "input.mkv"      \  # input file
  -codec copy         \  # copy the streams without reencoding
  -map_metadata -1    \  # don't copy metadata
  -metadata creation_time="1980-01-01T00:00:00"  \ # Apparently, it can't be erased
  -map_chapters -1    \  # don't copy chapters
  -metadata title=""  \  # remove the title, apparently, this might be needed
  output.mkv             # output file

It can handle metadata for several file formats.

added research need label

There are a few video files samples available here.

changed time estimate to 2h
