Mac / Front Row

I am a Beyond TV user looking to record TV shows on my Windows system and display them using Front Row on a Mac I'm thinking about buying.

I'm told the Mac has the ability to see any given folder on the Windows box, but the recordings do not have certain tags needed to described the metadata about it (show/episode/etc).

This site generally described what these tags are: http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/

I'm also not sure if the current mpeg version/encoding is exactly what I need.

What I'm wondering is if there is a best practices for making this happen with BTV3 or BTV4.
What I'm assuming this will be is a program to run to convert/tag the files appropriately based on filename. Does any such program exist, particularly one that can be run as a batch job?

Is any integration with this file format/tags in plans for a BTV4 release? This seems like a good candidate for a ShowSqueeze feature.
