MANUAL ADDITION OF MP4 VIDEOS and PROBLEM IN iTUNES

iTunes seems to be having a problem with adding new mp4 videos to libary. The problem seems to be with computers running vista generally.
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.
