Best video container that can accept extra meta data

I'm developping a software that can generate some video with different codec (H.264, MJPEG...). I would like my video readable with VLC, but i want ability to add some extra information in the video file for each frame (for example timestamp) and for the global video (a verified signature).

I would the file working with VLC but ignoring these meta information. But my custom player will be able to read them and display these information.

Anyone can tell me which container will be the best to do that?

I'm using AVI for now but it doens't seems to support this. I read few part on the Matroska container (MKV) that seems to be able to do that but i'm not really sure.

Thank you very much

The mp4 container can include XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) information:

There is a free software tool which focuses on writing metadata of all kinds to different file types - it would be a good starting point for you:
