M4V and MP4 are 'containers' for audio and video files. They are basically the same, but QuickTime and iTunes can both open the MP4 if it contains audio or video files that follow the common formats. If an audio or video file uses unuwual compression, it may fail to open in QuickTime or iTunes.

There are 'tools' which will allow QuickTime and iT to work with more file types.

Install Perian and Flip4Mac, as well as MPEG Streamclip to enable a wide variety of audio and video formats.

Why are are your files not working in final cut pro?

MP4 is a final delivery lousy video format which is not suitable for editing in non-destructive video editing software like Final Cut Pro. Though Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X update to import MP4 video, it only support MP4 encoded with H.264. If the MP4 is encoded with other video codec, Final Cut Pro X/7 will still fail to import MP4. See link below:
