I've been a long time user of Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Photo Gallery because it was the easiest program to use to embed tags inside image and video files.

I followed the Digikam Windows compatibility guide and though it works great for photos, I don't see much for videos. I have a lot of old WMV, MPG, and MOV files that have been tagged using Photo Gallery. The tags show up in the interface as "Descriptive Tags",
and also show up in Windows Explorer as "Tags" if I check the file properties, but nothing shows up in Digikam. If I try to add tags to those files with Digikam, they write to external XMP files. Is there a way to get Digikam to write or at least read those
Windows-embedded video tags? If I can at least get it to read, I can search for those old tags with Digikam if I'm looking for something specific that I've tagged in the past 15 years. Going forward, writing is less important, though ideally I would also like
to write to these files. <br>
