They only made up a new extension/mimetype, its not a new codec, its h264 mpeg4.
Actually the extension m4v should really mean mpeg4 video stream (no audio) so apples use of this extension is confusing and silly. Personally I recommend that people dont bother with using .m4v even if you want ipod compatibility, its not needed. If you use something that creates files named .m4v, rename them to mp4, they will still tranfer to the ipod ok. Unfortunately because many people are likely to just use the apple ipod export in qt703, m4v's are going to appear. So I appreciate very much you adding m4v support to fireant.
