I'm back to this subject.<br>
<br>
I receive a mail from Exiv2 forum few days ago. This become more and<br>
more critical for the future of Exiv2 :<br>

I don't know where is the problem exactly in Exiv2 team. Even if Exiv2<br>
0.26 is released, i fear to see a very long time before a next 0.27<br>
release with video support bugfixes, as i hope.<br>
<br>
So we need a solid alternative...<br>
