What is M4V?

Developed by Apple and nearly identical to the MP4 format, a file with the M4V file extension is a MPEG-4 Video file, or sometimes called an iTunes Video file.

You'll most often find these types of files used for movies, TV shows, and music videos downloaded from the iTunes Store.

Apple may protect M4V files with DRM copyright protection to prevent unauthorized distribution of the video. Those files, then, can only be used on a computer that has been authorized to play it.





How to Open an M4V File?

You can play protected M4V files only if the computer is authorized to do so. This is done through iTunes by logging in to the same account that purchased the video. These DRM protected M4V files can also be played directly on the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that purchased the video.

M4V files that are not protected with such restrictions can be opened in VLC, QuickTime, Windows Media Player, and probably other media players. You can also use Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate for Mac to convert unprotected M4V videos to MP4, AVI, FLV, MOV, WMV, etc.
