Is it possible to read all media properties?

It seems that Media class has veery limited functionality in reading media properties, it even can`t read some properties visible in media pool (such as capture comments, rating, date/time stamp, color depth etc.) So I was wondering if there is any way of reading them, either using some other classes or maybe with help from some third-party software?

I am afraid that these items are not exposed in the current API. The only way would be to read it out of the .veg file, but the format of this file is not documented.

This data is actually stored within media file, and that is why it is a bit disappointing that vegas doesn`t support reading custom (or even its own) file properties.

Well then, if vegas cannot do it, maybe there is some batch or command line tool that can output media headers into txt?
