Comment(by rmsfisher@…):

 GTKPod does not work properly with the new mp4v2.
 GTKPod had preliminary support for a few functions in an early version of
 the fork but will not build against the currently-ported version because
 of major syntax changes.

 This whole fiasco stems from the developers of a single upstream project
 (HandBrake) tiring of the limitations of a widely-used shared library; by
 rewriting that library in a fashion that broke backwards-compatibility
 those developers made their project much more of a fork rather than an
 upgrade.

 I would suggest we resurrect mpeg4ip/libmp4v2, but only if it could be
 done in a way that ensures mutual exclusivity with mp4v2.
