Yes... this is the method I;ve previously suggested to folks.
However, not everyone is technically capable of doing this.
Even Eric Rice, who is a technically savvy dude has had trouble here.

If you specify a mime-type associated with M4V, it will work correctly as
is. You don't need to swap the extension, simply put this in your .htaccess
file:
AddType video/mp4 .m4v

Dude, m4v is nothing other than mp4 encoding at default settings
preset by Apple.
m4v is a myth. It is not a format. It is simply a file extension
pulled out of the ether, but not a different file type. You could name
