<div>These are not MPEG-4 Video Elementary Stream files, so they won't
work.</div>

<div>Unfortunately, Apple coopted (misused) the '.m4v' filename
extension to mean "MPEG-4 video contained within a MPEG-4 format
file", rather than "a MPEG-4 Video Elementary Stream
file", which is how everyone else had been using the extension
before.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Because of this confusion, I may end up changing the code to use
the extension ".m4e" (instead of ".m4v") to mean
"a MPEG-4 Video Elementary Stream file".</div>
