That seems a huge bloat in file size.
I assume it works on an iPad (yet to send it*). It plays well on VLC Media Player (Windows), apart from the watermark imposed because the converter is a trial.
The MediaInfo description is available, if this helps. I would prefer to be able to use ffmpeg to do the conversion (though the Danuisoft GUI application is very nice).

Thought may as well throw my hat into the arena as well, this stuff seems to get lost in the thread.
My FFmpeg based bat file solution for windows
Yansky's Port for OSX of said solution * I have nothing to do with this other than providing the bat files upon which it is based any problems with OSX version contact Yansky
follow the instructions in my post (or Yansky's for OSX) and it will ReMux (ie a 1 to 1 copy of the video and audio streams) from the f4v to a true Mp4 file.
