Convert M4V to WMV
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.
- M4V uses codec codec in container container format
What is WMV?
WMV
WMV (Windows Media Video) uses Microsoft's ASF (Advanced Systems Format) container with WMV video codec and WMA audio. Optimized for Windows Media Player. Supports DRM protection, streaming, and variable bitrate encoding. Good compression but limited cross-platform compatibility. Converting to modern formats like MP4 typically involves re-encoding for better device support and efficiency.
