    The wrapper or file format may be mp4, but the encoding may be something that is incompatible with iTunes. I'm not sure what encodings iTunes accepts beyond H.264

    Its likely encoded in a different codec, but still in an mp4 container. To fix it...uhh, reencode the files in h.264 or something?
