Convert MP4 to M4V
What is MP4?
MP4
MP4 uses MPEG-4 Part 14 container format standardized as ISO/IEC 14496-14. Stores H.264/AVC or H.265/HEVC video codecs with AAC audio compression. Supports multiple video/audio streams, subtitles (SRT, VTT), chapter markers, and metadata. Enables progressive download for streaming. Converting between video formats involves remuxing containers or re-encoding codecs while preserving temporal synchronization and aspect ratios.

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.
