A fellow podcaster is attempting to play a video of mine in his feed and we're having no luck. We're getting an error in iTunes (something like media not recognized with the little exclamation point) on the video when embedded in the RSS feed, but the original video plays fine in iTunes. We've tried both .m4v and .mp4 files, to no avail . . . the .m4v exported very safely as Video for iPod out of Quicktime.
I do a weekly video podcast and have had no issues with iTunes-- I just encode, embed, and let Feedburner / iTunes handle the rest.
. . . the only possible difference we can see is that he uses Libsyn and I just use a standard web hosting company.
Any suggestions, fellow podcasters?

:) No, the media is no longer live. The feed lives on.
