What is M4V?

M4V is a video file format developed by Apple, primarily used for videos purchased or rented from the iTunes Store. It is similar to MP4 but can include Apple's DRM protection to prevent unauthorized copying. M4V supports H.264 video compression and AAC audio, ensuring high-quality playback. It is compatible with Apple devices and software like iTunes, QuickTime, and iOS but may require conversion for use on non-Apple platforms.
