MP4 Tags and Tagging. Please provide good info.

This is a request to the experts on the MP4 container:
What tags are actually supported, both officially, and in the real world of popular hardware and applications?

I've successfully created a lot of MP4s containing h.264 and AAC using MP4Box and I want to add some information like a title (for example, whatever the VHS tape was called that it was encoded from)and maybe also a comment.

I've read and searched quite a lot but I am confused by references to: 'brand'??, meta fields, Apple-specific versions, AAC tagging with Winamp / Nero apps, 'Atoms', etc etc.

Bearing in mind that I only want to add two tags - TITLE and a COMMENT, is there an MP4 standard for this, and please tell me, if so,- what are the tag names and what command (preferably using MP4Box) to use, failing that what other program and command?

Thanks
