Convert M4V to WAV
What is M4V?
M4V
M4V containers hold video (H.264) and audio (AAC) streams, similar to MP4 but with optional Apple DRM. Extracting audio means demultiplexing—isolating the AAC audio track from the video stream. This preserves audio quality when extracting to compatible formats.
- M4V combines video and audio streams in a container, allowing audio track extraction
- Contains separate audio track easily extracted to WAV format
- Video stream discarded—only audio codec and bitrate matter
What is WAV?
WAV
WAV is audio-only, containing waveform samples without visual data. Video formats require synchronized visual frame sequences at 24-60fps alongside audio tracks. WAV lacks video streams—creating video from audio requires adding visual components like static images, animated waveforms, frequency spectrum analyzers, or lyric text. This requires video editing or motion graphics software, not simple format conversion.
- WAV contains pure audio data requiring video track addition for video output
