What is M4V?
M4V
M4V is Apple's video container format based on MPEG-4, essentially MP4 with optional FairPlay DRM. Uses H.264 video and AAC audio codecs. Native format for iTunes movies and TV shows. Converting to other video formats works when DRM-free; protected content requires DRM removal first.

What is AVI?
AVI
AVI uses RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) container introduced by Microsoft in 1992. Supports multiple video codecs (DivX, Xvid, H.264) and audio codecs (MP3, PCM, AC3) with interleaved data chunks. Original specification limited files to 2GB; OpenDML extension removes size restrictions. Converting to modern containers like MP4 often involves remuxing streams or re-encoding with more efficient codecs.
