iPod will play mov and mp4. It depends more on the resolution and bitrate. m4v is not actually anything other than an mp4 with h.264 codec, aac audio, and specific resolution and bitrate settings optimized for iPod. So really, m4v is a made up file extension. It should actually be mp4, as that's really the correct file type. It is often preferable to edit the filename replacing .m4v extension with .mp4 as that is more accurately what the file *is*.
