I'm pretty sure that giving it a .mov extension would work fine so
long as the user has Quicktime 6, but that's not really as correct as
mp4. (And there are probably players out there that can handle MPEG
4 but not quicktime movies in general.)
Why not using the mpg or mpeg extensions ? ;)
I'm a little leary of that too, as MPEG 4 is a fairly new format
encapsulated by something resembling Quicktime. Since there are
undoubtedly many players that can play older MPEG by not newer MPEG, I
think the version-specific suffix is appropriate.

I wasn't aware of the new MPEG4 format, I was thinking about Mpeg Layer4
