Can you set Details for Videos with Powershell?

Question

I have a NAS to which I Rip most of my DVD's. The problem comes with series. When I have to RIP a season, the Details (Title, Comments, etc) must be manually entered.

To combat this, I wrote the following script:

$array = @() 
(Get-ChildItem -Path 'c:\Videos\Dead Like Me\*.mpg' ).FullName |
foreach{
   $array += $_ 
   }
$i = 0
Do  {
    $Episode = $i + 1
    $NewName = "Dead Like Me S1E$Episode.mpg"
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $array[$i] -Name "Title" -Value $NewName
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $array[$i] -Name "Comments" -Value $NewName
    Rename-Item -Path $array[$i] -NewName $NewName
$i += 1
} While ($i -lt $array.length)

It seems that Set-ItemProperty does not recognize the Title nor Comments, not other properties from the "Details" tab for the file.

I've also tried

Get-ChildItem $array[$i] | Set-ItemProperty -Name "Title" -Value $NewName

Either way, I get an error similar to the following:

Set-ItemProperty : The property string Title=Dead Like Me S1 D1 E3.mpg does not exist or was not found. At c:\Videos\Dead Like Me\tmp.ps1:20 char:30 + ... ChildItem $array[$i] | Set-ItemProperty -Name "Title" -Value $NewName + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ReadError: (string Title=Dead Like Me S1 D1 E3.mpg:PSNoteProperty) [Set-ItemProperty], I OException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SetPropertyError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetItemPropertyCommand

Shouldn't Set-ItemProperty be able to address those properties?

I ran the following:

get-itemproperty "C:\Videos\Dead Like Me\video.mpg" | Format-List -Property * -Force

It returns:

There's an open source library called TagLib-Sharp that supports setting metadata on audio and video files. It's pretty easy to use - there's some sample code at this blog - the gist of it is:

Import-Module "D:\powershell\modules\MPTag\taglib-sharp.dll"
$BOXTYPE_TVSH = "tvsh"; # TV Show or series
$mediaFile = [TagLib.File]::Create($file.FullName)
[TagLib.Mpeg4.AppleTag]$customTag = $mediaFile.GetTag([TagLib.TagTypes]::Apple, 1)
$customTag.SetText($BOXTYPE_TVSH, $showName)
$mediaFile.Save()
