You add the file and nothing happens or shows up after that. When you play the video using Quicktime it shows the “Error - 2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie”. The video play perfectly on any other media player with the right codecs.
The problems happens as a collabration of Quicktime, iTunes and Vista (also XP in some cases), how the three of them deal with the ID3 tags in the mp4 file.
So here’s a workaround that seems to be working for me. If you’re having this same problem and this works for you, please leave a comment so I’ll know that I’ve really solved the generic problem and not just some strange situation on my computer.
Step 1: Grab the Tagger software (main site) (and make sure you have a current JRE installed)
Step 2: After unzipping/untarring the software, double-click on the executable JAR file “tagger.jar”
Step 3: Use the “File | Open” menu option to open the MP4 you are having trouble importing into iTunes.
Step 4: Edit one or more of the tags using the Tagger software and click SAVE. (keep tags short)
Step 5: After Tagger finishes writing the new file with the new tags, add the file to iTunes like you normally would.
