  (*
   * IMPORTANT: The official FFmpeg C headers change very quickly. Often some
   * of the data structures are changed so that they become incompatible with
   * older header files. The Pascal headers have to be adjusted to those changes,
   * otherwise the application might crash randomly or strange bugs (not
   * necessarily related to video or audio due to buffer overflows etc.) might
   * occur.
   *
   * In the past users reported problems with USDX that took hours to fix and
   * the problem was an unsupported version of FFmpeg. So we decided to disable
   * support for future versions of FFmpeg until the headers are revised by us
   * for that version as they otherwise most probably will break USDX.
   *
   * If the headers do not yet support your FFmpeg version you may want to
   * adjust the max. version numbers manually but please note: it may work but
   * in many cases it does not. The USDX team does NOT PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT
   * for the game if the MAX. VERSION WAS CHANGED.
   *
   * The only safe way to support new versions of FFmpeg is to add the changes
   * of the FFmpeg git repository C headers to the Pascal headers.
   * You can accelerate this process by posting a patch with the git changes
   * translated to Pascal to our bug tracker (please join our IRC chat before
   * you start working on it). Simply adjusting the max. versions is NOT a valid
   * fix.

(*
 * Public Metadata API.
 * The metadata API allows libavformat to export metadata tags to a client
 * application using a sequence of key/value pairs. Like all strings in FFmpeg,
 * metadata must be stored as UTF-8 encoded Unicode. Note that metadata
 * exported by demuxers isn't checked to be valid UTF-8 in most cases.
 * Important concepts to keep in mind:
 * 1. Keys are unique; there can never be 2 tags with the same key. This is
 *    also meant semantically, i.e., a demuxer should not knowingly produce
 *    several keys that are literally different but semantically identical.
 *    E.g., key=Author5, key=Author6. In this example, all authors must be
 *    placed in the same tag.
 * 2. Metadata is flat, not hierarchical; there are no subtags. If you
 *    want to store, e.g., the email address of the child of producer Alice
 *    and actor Bob, that could have key=alice_and_bobs_childs_email_address.
 * 3. A tag whose value is localized for a particular language is appended
 *    with a dash character ('-') and the ISO 639-2/B 3-letter language code.
 *    For example: Author-ger=Michael, Author-eng=Mike
 *    The original/default language is in the unqualified "Author" tag.
 *    A demuxer should set a default if it sets any translated tag.
