TNT Luoma: Avoid AtomicParsley bug with HandBrake AppleTV Files

This is almost the exact type of problem I have been running into. I have about 30% of the files that I used Metax on become unplayable in itunes when they played fine previous to this. So does this solve mean I have to re-encode all my movies in this format? From the original files? From the M4V's that I already have? Or is there an easier way to change the M4V that already exists? If you have any input on these questions thanks in advance and if I find anything out I will post it here.

As a add on to my previous post re-encoding the file in Handbrake does not work. The file is unreadable.

If you use HandBrake/AtomicParsley and the file is OK even though you used "Large File Size" you can then add/change metadata using iTunes.
At least that has worked in my experience.
If the files will not play at all (i.e. sound no video), then yes, you need to re-encode them from the originals.
