Hummm,
"ISO language codes cannot be used for all elements of a QuickTime file. 
Currently, ISO language codes
can be used only for user data text. All other elements, including text 
tracks, must be specified using Macintosh
language codes."

So this only applies in the user data case, so I think this is wrong for 
MODE_MOV, but should be changed for the user data case.
