The following tags are decoded from the Modified Digital Video Pack Metadata (MDPM) of the unregistered user data with UUID 17ee8c60f84d11d98cd60800200c9a66 in the H.264 Supplemental Enhancement Information (SEI). [Yes, this description is confusing, but nothing compared to the challenge of actually decoding the data!] This information may exist at regular intervals through the entire video, but only the first occurrence is extracted unless the (-ee) option is used (in which case subsequent occurrences are extracted as sub-documents).
