There has to be explicit terminology in the dictionary for each export
type. Evidently they forgot to add it. Nice catch. Please report it as a
bug.
Given that this is an Apple exporter you might be able to find a raw code
for the type, however...
I am not sure if it's possible for 3rd party quicktime export components
to add enumeration terminology to the dictionary for the export type. I'm
not even sure if that is all that is needed.
Maybe Chris Nebel can answer that?
Certainly no 3rd party components do this at present, so if you were
hoping to script an export using (say) the LAME mp3 component, you're out
of luck.
Oh, and did you catch Ken Rhodes' post on the QuickTime Users list about
exporting as QuickTime Movie with ipod-friendly settings. In case you
missed it:

... and exporting to MPEG-4 is certainly scriptable. Good luck!
