Some useful info from the Apple site:
(http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/creatingvideo.html):

* By following the steps in this tutorial, QuickTime 7 Pro will
automatically create an .m4v file containing H.264 video and AAC audio
that is optimized for iPod. iPod can play the following video formats:

    * H.264 video
      File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
      Video: Up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, 30 frames per second,
Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3
      Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio

    * MPEG-4 video
      File formats: .m4v, .mp4 and .mov
