About M4V

Apple MPEG-4 Video

Apple's MPEG-4 video

M4V is nearly identical to MP4 and is used by iTunes and the Apple TV app. Purchased films may be DRM-protected.

Strengths
Plays on all Apple devices with high quality.
Limitations
Some players do not recognize the extension; DRM-protected files cannot be converted.

About MP4

MPEG-4 Part 14

The universal video format

MP4 is the most widely used video format, usually with H.264 video and AAC audio. Phones, cameras, websites and social networks all use it.

Strengths
Plays everywhere, with good quality at a small size.
Limitations
H.264 is less efficient than newer codecs such as HEVC or AV1.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert M4V to MP4?

Add your M4V file to the tool above. MP4 is already selected, so processing starts with the right settings. When it is done, click Download.

Will converting M4V to MP4 reduce the quality?

If the M4V file already contains compatible streams they are copied without any loss. Otherwise the video is re-encoded at high quality, and the difference is very hard to see.

Is my M4V video uploaded anywhere?

No. The M4V to MP4 conversion runs entirely in your browser using ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly. Your video never leaves your device.

How long does converting M4V to MP4 take?

If the streams can be copied, a few seconds. If the video has to be re-encoded, roughly one to three minutes per minute of 720p video on a computer, and longer on phones.
