That is why I was asking. I didn't have a file to try and I was at work.

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)
Thanks for trying it when developing it! I subscribed to the large xvid and it looks great!


Thanks again for creating BTV Podcatcher!
