updated stik value for movie in mp4tags

In iTunes, in order to combine two items under one listing in the library, both 
items must have 
the same cnID and one must be marked as HD. Until recently, the items also had 
to be marked as 
music videos or TV shows, with the corresponding stik value. This created an 
issue as then 
movies could not be combined without a workaround involving crappy iTunes 
tagging, which 
wasn't really a solution because the tags on the actual files did not change.

With the release of HD movies on iTunes today, I took the opportunity to use an 
old iTunes gift 
card to buy an HD movie and see how they combined movies. It turns out that 
iTunes uses stik 9  
for the new HD/SD movies instead of 0. I'm not sure when this change was made, 
or if it is 
across all movies, but it definitely seems to be store policy with HD movies at 
least. NightStorm 
noted on IRC that the option for 'Short Film' in the iTunes 'tagging' interface 
disappeared in 8.0, 
so the switchover probably happened then.

To the point, mp4tags should be changed to use 9 instead of 0 for the stik 
value for movies.

Attached are two mp4file --dumps (one for the SD version of W. from the iTunes 
store, one for 
the HD version of W. from the iTunes store) in a ZIP file.
