OK, my highly placed insider (seriously!) at Apple podcasting says the following:
"Not a great answer here. The QuickTime people tell us that the latest version of Quicktime Pro only creates iPod-playable files with the Export to iPod option. They're working on a fix for the next version, but for now it's no longer possible to create iPod playable video with the h.264 mp4 export option. Frustrating to people because the export to iPod option creates larger file sizes." It doesn't tell us much that we don't know, and doesn't really make sense - since an .m4v file that you get with the ipod export option is just a h.264 mpeg4 anyway. But there you have it.
