I'm at the low end of the learning curve, making my own videos with various devices (GoPro, Canon MVX, smartphone, etc.). I want to tag them with tags which are stored in the files (not on a separate database) so that my desktop software can find them on my computer and the attached network storage. That's all I want to do. I don't want to tag them for web publication and I don't want to keep them in a video storage system which keeps the tags in a separate database (because the vendor of such a system might no longer be in business in five years time and then I'm left with a non-supported database system and a lot of non-tagged video files).
Clearly, I can "tag" the files by including keywords in the filename, but that is limited in length. I want to tag the videos just as I tag photos and MP3 files.
Is there a solution for this ? I've been thrashing around the Web with Google et al. without success. Either I'm using the wrong search terms or there is no solution or there is a solution out there which is "buried" because very few people are interested in tagging.

P.S. I put this in this section because I'm "... a newbie / new to video and/or ....have problem deciding what section (my) post should be in..". If it belongs somewhere else please do let me know.
