Sorry, I don't understand what is the problem here. 'author' and
'artist' are semantically equal, they both mean 'main creator of the
work'. If mov makes some distinction between 'aut' and 'art', then mov
demuxer should export the tags exactly as they are and there should be a
AVMetadataConv table mapping one of them to 'artist' and the other one
to 'performer' or 'writer' or something.
