Beginner Chart

[EspressoMachine]

Can anyone recommend a good chart that would list all the different audio and video, whether the format is lossy or lossless and what tags such as artist, tv show name, movie etc it supports?

You'll nver do it because a) there are so many with multiple variations on each, and b) there's always new ones.

Even this is woefully inadequate.

Ok I will ask more specifically, regarding VP9 what tags does it support?

You can find that by converting a video and use all tags and see what the video picks up.

For VP9 in an MKV container I used the BAT file :

ffmpeg -i "c:\users\bud\desktop\xvideo.flv" ^
-metadata title="Track #5" ^
-metadata author="Unknown Artist" ^
-metadata composer="Composer Unknown" ^
-metadata album="Tracer Video Game Soundtrack" ^
-metadata year="1996" ^
-metadata track="5" ^
-metadata comment="This is redbook CD audio track #5 from the Windows 95 game "Tracer"" ^
-metadata genre="Game Soundtrack" ^
-metadata copyright="Copyright 1996 Future Endeavors, Inc." ^
-metadata description="Nifty techno background tune for a futuristic video game" ^
-metadata synopsis="Hey, is this thing on? This is where the 'synopsis' field shows up." ^
-metadata show="Tracer" ^
-metadata episode_id="102" ^
-metadata network="Some network" ^
-acodec libvorbis ^
-vcodec libvpx-vp9 ^
-y "c:\users\bud\desktop\xvideometa.mkv"

NOTE: The carat is needed for line continuation in DOS/CMD screen

The resulting Tags encoded were pretty much all of them:
