Knowledge of iTunes M4V Video
M4V video format is developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container. M4V files are opened with the iTunes player by default while MP4 files are opened with QuickTime player by default.
M4V video files containers are produced by Apple for iTunes TV episodes, music videos, and feature length movies. The M4V files format is based on the MPEG-4 AVC video codec. To play iTunes M4V file, the computer needs to be authorized (using iTunes) with the account that was used to purchase the video. However, in some cases M4V files may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ‘.m4v’ to ‘.mp4’.
