Yes, some flash players can play H.264 encoded movies - it doesn't matter if they have .mp4, .m4v or .mov as the extension. What matters is that they're encoded with H.264. The JW FLV Media Player <http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Media_Player> and the FlowPlayer <http://flowplayer.org/> will both play H.264 videos.
You can watch these on Mac, Win and Linux (inside the flash player) with latest couple of versions of the Flash plugin - you don't have to have quicktime installed.
