If I just change the extension to m4v would it play in BTV? If so could we have an option to change the extension on h264 .mov files so they will show up in BTV?

Thanks!

first off you can not just change the extension of Revision3 HD feed files to m4v and get it to play (when you do so you get an error message "invalid sample description" if you try to play it in quicktime and the file will not play in BTV)


When I was developing the current version of BTV Podcatacher I thought long and hard about adding this function.

I do have some automatic file extensions changes occurring (divx to avi and xvid to avi)

Not all mov files can change the extension to m4v or mp4 (both acceptable h264 extesnion) will play. in fact most mov I found do not work. This includes the HD feeds for revision3 they say they are h.264 but the ones I have tried do not work.

Since I could not find a feed that would need this functionality I left it out.

I would recommend subscribing to the large xvid or large quicktime feeds (which does have the m4v extension)
