Some use cases require "correct" labelling, AFAIK the only way to do
this is using the Qt Pro Properties window*. Achieving it
programatically with standard Apple tools currently seems impossible.
QTKit does not allow you to, and AVFoundation currently only seems to be
able to read the values. So maybe doing it in ffmpeg would be worthwhile.

*directly or via the Scripting Bridge.
