Re: windows issue
by Jonathan Miller on Aug 17, 2007 at 3:24:05 pm

The .m4v extension is an Apple iTunes extension. The file it's attached to is actually an .mp4 but Apple came up with the .m4v to get people to use iTunes to watch it. So, unless you tell your computer differently, when clicking on an .m4v file itunes will be the software designated to play it back.

From the start I've been using .mp4 as the extension for ALL of my episodes. I understand that not all people watch the podcast on an iPod or in itunes. What I haven't tried is using the .m4v extension to see if that actually HELPS the situation (my problem is getting all of the window's users to be able to sync the episodes to their iPods without errors.)

Hard to tell, and I'm always very apprehensive to mess with things.

Share what you find (if you don't mind...)
