[senit] ipods and video

The iPods play .m4v files so even .mp4 files have to

There are a stack of tools that allow you to manipulate video in this
way 

I currently use AVS to go which does the job very efficiently and like a
number doesn't ask you simply for a format but asks you for the device
you want to play it on and chooses the appropriate format - this makes
life easier for non techie team members
