A: 

With ffmpeg installed:

ffmpeg -i input.mov -acodec copy -vcodec copy output.m4v

This will perform an exact copy of both the audio and video streams into the new file.

The simplest way is to install Homebrew (http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) then from the command line, do `brew install ffmpeg`
