I have figured out how to edit the header from the great research
forwarded to me here.
I have almost completed a commandline program that converts an mp4 to an
m4a (the difference here being mp4 is mpeg 41, not 42 and does not have
the iTunes udat atom)
Once that's done, I'll make it available to you guys, as well as adding
support for it in EphPod. It will be up to someone else (or maybe me in
the not-so-near future) to write a tag editor for the iTunes udat atom
(not too difficult, so if you're interested, just let me know and I'll
give you what I have).
