What is M4V?

M4V is a video file format developed by Apple, primarily used for video content purchased or rented from the iTunes Store. It is based on the MP4 container format and typically uses H.264 video codec and AAC audio codec. M4V files are similar to MP4 files but may include copy protection (DRM) for purchased or rented content. While M4V is widely supported on Apple devices and software like iTunes and QuickTime, it can have limited compatibility on non-Apple platforms unless the file is converted.

What is AVI?

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format developed by Microsoft in 1992. It stores both audio and video data in a single file, allowing synchronous playback. AVI supports various codecs for compressing audio and video, offering flexibility in quality and file size. While it delivers high-quality output, AVI files can be large and are not ideal for streaming. It is widely supported across Windows-based systems and many media players.
