MP4V (MPEG-4 Video) is a file format developed by Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It is used to store video files and it is part of the MPEG-4 transport stream used by some streaming broadcast protocols. MP4V files can be played using a range of media players including VLC media player.
The MP4V extension is most often associated with the MPEG-4 Part 2 compression format which is based on motion compensation. It stores video frames in an advanced form of block-based motion compensation and includes both intra frames (I-frames) and predictive frames (P-frames). This compression method is still in use, although recent developments in multimedia technology have resulted in more efficient codecs such as H.264 and H.265.

Similar file formats include .wmv, .mpg, .mov, .avi, .mkV, and .flv.
MP4V (MPEG-4 Video) is an efficient and popular multimedia container format that allows storing of multiple video frames in an advanced form of block-based motion compensation. The MP4V extension is mostly used as a transport stream for video transmission over network protocols, such as streaming protocols, and commonly played using a compatible media player, such as VLC media player.
The MPEG-4 format uses I-frames and P-frames for encoding complex visual data and has become a widely adopted standard for digital video storage. Although more advanced codecs such as H.264 exist today, the MPEG-4 Part 2 compression has been largely supplanted for its strong compression abilities.
Similar file formats include .wmv, .mpg, .mov, .avi, .mkV, and .flv.
Programs for WINDOWS system

Programs for Android system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MP4V) 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 .MP4V 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 .MP4V 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 .MP4V 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 .MP4V extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MP4V file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MP4V 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 .MP4V file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MP4V file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MP4V file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
