I have installed Metax 2.4.6 on my new iMac with Lion 10.7.2, and it worked flawlessly, including adding the file straight to iTunes.
It would appear from previous comment Metax is no longer being developed on osx, but the latest version works just fine.

DO NOT USE THIS SOFTWARE. It will only result in heartache!
If it was TOTALLY broken and just didn't work that would actually be better, since you wouldn't start loading up the queue with your ripped movies to tag, only to have it erase about 25% of them when it's done.
So - anyone have a similar program that they use that is SAFE? Got plenty of time to do some research while I'm re-ripping DVDs that MetaX destroyed.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Even if I do opt to just edit tags through iTunes itself, there are certain tags that aren't accessible so if you want to fiddle with them, you are out of luck unless you use another program to edit the tags.
Thanks in advance.

While any size movie can in fact be 64bit, the surest sign yours is if the movie files itself is over 4GB in size (because it would have to be 64bit to play, period.)
What's most probably happened is that you were tagging 64bit movies without turning MetaX's 64bit support on in the preferences.
However, if that is what has occurred, you are correct in that you will need to re-rip the movies, however it is not *strictly* MetaX's fault (as it does support 64bit tags, you just have to manually enable them.)
Myself...I encode all movies as 64bit just to avoid the headache of having to remember to do it for the ones that are *likely* to be too large for 32bit tags (again, that would be movies 4GB in size and above).

Once you use this program to modify your metadata, you can ONLY use this program to modify your metadata.
I used MetaX to add metadata to about 200+ of my ripped/converted DVDs. Now, if I don't like the DVD cover and want to use a different one, I have to use MetaX. If I just do a "get info" in iTunes and change things that way, iTunes will DESTROY the file and make it unplayable. iTunes ONLY does this with files modified with MetaX.
MetaX takes an incredibly long time (nearly as long as actually encoding MP4 files).
I now just modify my metadata within iTunes. It is WAY faster, easier, and modifiable if you need to make a quick change. Just use Google Images to find the DVD cover, and IMDB for the descriptions and other info.
The only downside to this is if you, say, give a copy of the .MP4 to a buddy, it will not include this metadata since iTunes keeps it seperate from the file. MetaX actually modifies the files.
