- Description
- H.264 is a video compression standard that is commonly used for high-definition video. It is the most widely used format for Blu-ray discs, HD DVDs, and many other types of high-definition video. An H.264 file is a video file that has been encoded using this standard. These files are often saved with the .MP4 file extension. H.264 video is also commonly used in AVCHD camcorders and HDTV.
- The M4V file format is a video container format developed by Apple and is very similar to the MP4 format, with the primary difference being the optional Apple Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection. M4V files are commonly used for TV episodes, movies, and music videos in the iTunes Store. These files can be played on Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, and iPods, as well as on PCs using iTunes or other compatible media players.
