- 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 MP4 file is a multimedia file commonly used to store a movie or video clip, but may also contain subtitles or images. MP4 is short for MPEG-4 Part 14, which is a container format based on the QuickTime File Format (QTFF) used by .MOV and .QT files.
