About M4V
M4V is Apple's name for an MP4 file, used for movies and TV shows sold through iTunes and for video prepared for iPod, iPhone and Apple TV. Files from the iTunes Store can be copy-protected, which only Apple's software plays. Unprotected M4V files are MP4 files and open nearly everywhere.
M4V has an unfamiliar extension that some upload forms and editors reject, and iTunes-store files are copy-protected. M4V is recognised by Apple devices and by iTunes as video.
