mplayer seems to have trouble with this container.
you only have to change the container from m4v to mp4.
if it has DRM information in it remove it with requiem like stated in this wiki-entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4V
changing the container format should be done very quickly.
so now:
- mplayer plays the file but again the video is very jumpy and the sound is out of sync
- built in media player still refuses to play the file
- SiB recognises the file and actually plays it, but again the audio is out of sync and skipping frames all over the place
Its probably worth re-mentioning that these movie files played directly on the N900 with the built in media player before the 1.1 update, but they were very jumpy then...... but the audio has always been in sync

i looked at the documentation of handbrake and i can't see m4v as container. there's only mp4 and mkv?! huh?
EDIT: aaaah... m4v is enabled under mac... i see...
BUT: m4v is the exact same as mp4 when it doesn't contain DRM - which your case should be.
so just rename movie.m4v in movie.mp4 and give it another try

Did you try Kmplayer mplayer frontend? It seems to find m4v files for me just fine (and mplayer plays them ok).

average for video is 1500kbps in documentation.
if audio bitrate is relatively high too... could be causing the problems.
plus media manager still isnt finding the video as mp4
maybe kmplayer has optimized commands for m4v videos?!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, kmplayer seems to be playing the video perfecly, its smooth and the audio is in sync....
you are a GENIUS among men.. but theres a horrid black bar along the bottom of the screen in-between the dark grey bars....
but at least its progress
EDIT: aaaah... m4v is enabled under mac... i see...
BUT: m4v is the exact same as mp4 when it doesn't contain DRM - which your case should be.
