Hi,

A user mentioned in ffmpeg-user (
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2017-July/036571.html)  that they
couldn't write the 'keywords' metadata tag. I tested this patch and it
appears to add the metadata value when using MOV and MP4 as output. I'm
sure I've messed something up so please let me know if I can improve this.

Patch is attached and posted here too:
