There is a bug that crashes mediacoder when using several encoders (lame mp3, itunesencode, etc.).
Fixed it, also with the realaudio file ext issue! Update
hereAs for the mp4 tagging issue, the only solution is to find a better mp4 tagger utility.

Hi Optimus,
I downloaded the new build 1080 and iTunesencode is working great, Thanks!
Nero though, is not working too well. Mediacoder goes through the encoding process and creates the m4a file, but it is unplayable, and still no tags. Even the "Optimize MP4 Layout" in "MP4 Utilities" in foobar2000 produces an error message. My Nero encoder works fine within Nero itself, and with foobar2000, and Nero Frontends.
Thanks for looking into this!
I guess the tagger damaged the file. (the tagger I used claims that it only tags itunes mp4 files).
Can you try removing or renaming mp4-tg.exe in tools folder, so that it won't be called, and see if the result file playable.
I did exactly as you said, and voila, the encoded file played perfectly. The problem was in fact, MP4-tg.exe. I guess the search is on again for a new command-line mp4 tagging utility.
I have a newer version of tg.exe (v0.33) and renamed and replaced mp4-tg.exe (v0.32) in the tools dir and foobar doesn't lock up on me anymore and shows full tags. It's from the same author dated a day later. 2003-08-10.
Foobar 0.8.3 with mp4-tg.exe v0.33 shows this:
bitrate = 62
samplerate = 44100
channels = 2
aac_profile = HE AAC
codec = AAC
tool = iTunes v4.0, QuickTime 6.3
--------------------
14219200 samples @ 44100Hz
(rounded samples : 14219016)
Foobar 0.9 beta 10 with mp4-tg.exe v0.33 shows this:
tool = iTunes v4.0, QuickTime 6.3
bitrate = 62
samplerate = 44100
channels = 2
codec = AAC
codec_profile = SBR

Hope this helps?
