Why Do We Convert M4V Files to MOV Files?

Both developed by Apple, M4V and MOV are two different video container formats. In most cases, M4V files are only recognized and opened by devices with iTunes, such as iPad, iPhone, iPod and other Apple devices. By contrast, MOV is more applicable because it’s not only intended for the QuickTime framework of Mac but also supported on the Windows platform. Besides, MOV is quite popular for distributing videos through the Internet. Therefore, you can try to convert M4V to MOV, if you want to open M4V files but have no Apple devices.

Note: Some M4V files are DRM protected. So, before converting M4V, you must verify whether the M4V video is DRM-protected or not. Only the DRM-free M4V video files can be converted to MOV or other formats. Circumventing the protected M4V files is illegal according to DMCA.

FAQs

Q1. Is M4V the same as MOV?

No. Though M4V and MOV are both developed by Apple, they are designed for different purposes and devices. Moreover, MOV shares better compatibility with various devices and platforms than M4V. Most M4V files are used for iTunes, while you can find many MOV videos from QuickTime, iOS recordings, etc.

Q2. Can I just change M4V to MP4?

You can change M4V to MP4 by changing the file extension or applying a video conversion. MP4 and M4V can hold the exact same video encoder, so you can quickly change the .m4v file extension to .mp4. If you want to change multiple M4V files to MP4, using a batch video converter is more efficient.

Q3. Can QuickTime play M4V?

Yes. QuickTime is the default media player for Apple devices and M4V is a video format designed by Apple. In this case, you can easily open M4V videos in QuickTime media player.
