New in MetaX 2.3.4 (Feb 19, 2008)
- This is mainly a bug-fix release. Many reported bugs have been fixed: XML export works again, the "flakiness" of opening files should be gone, and several others.
- This release also has the initial support for tagging QuickTime movie files (.mov). When a mov is selected, the tag fields for incompatible tags are grayed out. Currently, only a few tags are supported, but more will come in the future. Cover art is fully supported in two fashions. MetaX sets the album art tag, similar to music files. This is great, except that iTunes doesn't seem to display these tags for movie files. It displays the poster image only. To support this, MetaX will make a new track inside the .mov containing the cover art, and select it as the poster frame. This artwork is placed at the very end of the movie, and should not be a bother for most users. You can easily remove this track from within QuickTime if you desire. The original video and audio remain unchanged. Some other tags, such as description, don't seem to show up in iTunes either, at least for now.
