MetaZ only accepts MP4 video format for metadata tagging partly because the AVI and WMV files are not commonly used on Mac.

http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/MetaZ.shtml
Note: It comes with a zip file which must be unzipped.. .Unzip and install. Once installed, start MetaZ.
Step 2 Add files.
Add files to the right side of MetaZ window as shown above or you can drop the files on the MetaZ icon in the dock. Whichever way, it is easy. Either press “Command +0” to select the files or you drag and drop the files.
Next you click the file that you intend to work on. MetaZ will most likely use the filename as a guess to determine what the title of the movie could be which can be seen on the search box. There, you can make a correction of the title to search for and press enter to begin the search. Using a partial of the title could work as well as long as it is not too generic. Then double click on the best marching title seen under the search box.
At this point, MetaZ will pre-populate the fields with information obtained from the internet using the movieDB or others. Click through and verify the information.
Once you are satisfied with the information, ensure the checkmarks next to the boxes are ticked.
Step 3 Write the metadata.
Finally, to write the metadata to your movie file, you have to click the “write” icon which could take as little as 10 seconds to write.
Note: MetaZ can work with a queue and has the ability to write all movies at once.
Part 3. What is metadata?
Metadata for a movie file like the MP4 is simply the information about the movie stored in a file. It is normally used to describe video information. The information includes the proper title, director and producers, actors, ratings, genre, tag and general description.
