I am renaming mp4 files to flv to get them to play in a flash player on my site, but I also want to have an iTunes compatible feed without having to have multiple copies of the file. I already tried making a quicktime reference movie that points to the flv (opens in quicktime, won't open in iTunes). If I could instead have my .mp4 with it's regular extension but have an flv reference movie that I could feed to the flash player, all my problems would be solved.
