.m4v files work fine for me in Quicktime 7.0.3 and iTunes, are you on a Mac or PC? Shouldn't matter as long as you have the latest quicktime.

Can you help me with my question: Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem here, i have a video podcast feed here at:
http://www.goeat.ie/podcast/goeat.xml this works great.
Each Item links to a Quicktime Movie (.mov) and it works fine in both a browser and iTunes but i want to use .m4v video instead of .mov files so i uploaded the new videofiles to the server and changed all the video filenames in the xml file and now it cannot find the movies, i get a 'The page cannot be found' error. i don't know what the problem is, the files are all named corrrectly and are definatley on the server, any ideas what is going wrong?
The RSS feed with the .m4v files linked is here if you wnat to have a look:

Are you trying to load the files in a browser? m4v probably won't be recognized in most browsers, if any. I was able to subscribe to your podcast fine and the videos are downloading in iTunes.

EDIT - Wow! Food on a conveyer belt! This is crazy-cool. Nice work, guys! Great show.
