TagLib#: Special thanks to the people at #theora

I’ve made a bit of progress:

The original file ended with a Vorbis page, which is easy to read, so I corrupted it and got duration parsing from a final Theora header (with some great help from the people at #theora on freenode).

The main problem now is: How do I update the tags. I’m going to have to look at the TagLib implementation more thoroughly, but at this point I’m scratching my head. Should I extract all the packets from the first page containing comment data to the last, then generate my own pages? It’ll probably take me a couple days to figure this out.

And then… M4V, MPEG (Just stick a ID3v2.4 on the end?), AVI, and I’m done! With all this change, I think this’ll be 2.0.
