Make Video Tags v1.2 
Simply and quickly edit basic tags of a multiple selection of video tracks in iTunes, including show, video kind, season number, description, long description, comments, lyrics, artist, album, genre, rating and enabled; set played/not played; options to automatically increment track numbers and episode numbers and IDs. I created this AppleScript Studio application for my own use--it's a more thorough big brother to my Set Video Kind of Selected script--when ripping DVDs with Handbrake.

This Tag, That Tag Scripts v2.0
Here are four scripts that assist with swapping, copying, and appending data between two user-chosen tags (Song Name, Album, Artist, Album Artist (iTunes 7 and better), Composer, Comments, Grouping, Show, and sometimes Genre) in selected tracks:
Swap This With That - swap data between tags, ex: ARTIST<->COMPOSER
Put This In That - copy data from one to another tag, ex: ARTIST->COMPOSER
Put This After That - append data from one tag to the end of another, ex: ARTIST->COMPOSER - ARTIST
Put This Before That - prepend data from one tag to the beginning of another, ex: ARTIST->ARTIST - COMPOSER
The latter three scripts also provide you the option of deleting the info from the first tag after the copy. Read Me explains all.

Track Names With Incremented Number v1.0
This script sets the Name of the selected tracks (or every track of a selected playlist) to a user-configured string using tag variables for the current name [name], track number [tn], episode number [en], episode ID [ep] and position in the selection order [#]. For example, a string such as "Desperate Housewives - Season 3/[en] - Episode [ep] - [name]" would render "Desperate Housewives - Season 3/5 - Episode 305 - Nice She Ain't", and so on.

Search Artists to Make Sort Artist
This script assists with searching for tracks whose Artist tag contain a user-entered search string. A Sort Artist tag can then be applied to each of the discovered tracks, or you can display the discovered tracks in a new playlist in order to inspect the tracks whose Sort Artist tag you wish to edit. You can use the script Batch Set Track Sorting Tags to apply a Sort Artist tag to just the selected tracks. For example, you could enter "Eno" as the search string; all tracks whose Artist tag contains "Eno" will be discovered. You can then either enter a Sort Artist tag, such as "Eno, Brian", and all the discovered tracks' Sort Artist tag will be changed; or you can choose to create a new playlist containing the discovered tracks in order to inspect the tracks whose Sort Artist you really want to edit. (Many people have suggested that a script could automatically do a "Last Name, First Name" sort of routine, but this would be prone to mistakes since not every artist tag is in the format of "First Name-Last Name"; eg: "Red Hot Chili Peppers", which would be rendered as "Peppers, Red Hot Chili", or "Driveby Truckers" as "Truckers, Driveby". AppleScript just can't do syntactic analysis!)
