Developed by Apple Inc., M4V is a video format resembling traditional MP4: based on the MPEG-4 AVC video compression. M4V is closely attached to iTunes, applying to store TV episodes, movies, music videos purchased from iTunes store. The videos shot with Apple portable devices like iPhone, iPad, iPod, are also in the M4V format.
Unfortunately, because of the official DRM copy protection, M4V files can’t be played by most media players and media editing tools including Windows Media Player, QuickTime, iMovie, Final Cut Pro, etc.
As discussed above, M4V is incompatible to many media players. In addition, because created by Apple, M4V is definitely can’t be played on media player belonging to Windows Systems, Windows Media Player, for instance.
