How to open file with .M4V extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .M4V file? Do you want to convert a .M4V file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .M4V

Full Name Developer Category
MPEG-4 Video File Format Apple Video Files
.M4V

M4V is a video file format developed by Apple Inc. It is a part of the MPEG-4 multimedia container format, and is used for storing movies or television shows purchased from the iTunes Store. It was introduced in 2007 to replace the earlier protected file format.MOV, and is based on the ISO Base Media File format. The M4V file extension is normally used for downloadable video files, and provides support for DRM protection when purchased using iTunes.

Technical Details:

M4V files use MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (also known as H.264), which allows high quality encoding of videos and higher compression rates than other video formats. Its file size is usually smaller than other formats. M4V files also contain AAC audio and can contain subtitles, chapters, and metadata specific to iTunes.

Other File Types

Other video file type often confused with M4V are.MP4,.MOV,.AVI,.FLV, and.MKV. These formats may have similar file extensions and be able to play audio and video; however, they differ in features such as quality, compression rate, and availability of related software for playback or editing.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .M4V) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .M4V extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .M4V file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .M4V extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .M4V extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .M4V file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .M4V file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .M4V file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .M4V file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .M4V file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .M4V file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
