I'm intending to bring this across myself soon.  It's slightly awkward because it's all written against Alexandra's bitstream API and would need to be changed to get_bits here.  (I was hoping the API would come at some point, but apparently people here are generally against it.  Oh well.)

Anyway, I finished off a half-written MPEG-2 metadata filter which will do the stuff described here: <https://lists.libav.org/pipermail/libav-devel/2017-August/084563.html>.  I've ignored MPEG-1 so far, but it would probably be easy to add if anyone cares.
