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.
