(particularly to add new types, but also to change to more appropriate types) so that may
explain why some videos have worked and others haven't.
Do we know what MIME type FeedBurner wants for an m4v file at this point? I can go
through all our servers and set it. Possible MIME types are "video/x-m4v" and "video/
mp4".
A while back someone made a post about .m4v & .mp4, about how .m4v is kinda BS. Last November.
I actually took a .m4v video I did from iMovie, changed its extension to .mp4. Then, uploaded it to blip.tv (this was back in November last year) & it worked in generating an enclosure in Feedburner.
I suppose I could try doing that right now, & see if it works.

Anyone from FeedBurner on the list who can answer this question?
