If you have quicktime pro, you should be able to open the m4v/mp4 in quicktime, then do a 'save as' 'self contained movie'. This should give you a mov without actually needing to recompress the video or audio again, it just wraps it up in a mov file format. So as long as your m4v/mp4 was ipod compatible, the mov will be too.
Doing it that way keeps things simple if you already have an encoding method that is ipod compatible. Avoiding issues like Apple sometimes changing the ipod spec, and for example the issue where theres no option to manually select baseline low complexity (s opposed to standard baseline) in qt, making it hard to manually create m4vs/mp4s of 640x that are compatible, making the 'uses apple ipod presets' the safer choice if compatibility is a must.
