Answer 1

I haven't tried it, but a quick search finds http://ffmpegwinrtarm.codeplex.com/ which claims to be a version of ffmpeg which works in Windows Store apps. For help with it check out that site.

Answer 2

I will check it out but can can you help with how to use use other existing packages like atomic  parsley or video transcoders with windows 8 app (html+JS). I have not been anle to find any way to include them and use them in my app

Answer 3

Like Jeff said in your other thread, you'll need to check with atomic parsley to see if they provide a version for Windows Store apps.

Answer 5

Please post new questions in new threads.

You can set properties on a file via the StorageFile.Properties objects. Once you've modified the properties you can save them with the SavePropertiesAsync | savePropertiesAsync methods .

This is demonstrated in the   Simple imaging sampleand the Media Hub sample app
