- Description
- 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.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
