M4V to MP4 Converter
Convert Apple M4V videos to standard MP4 for any device or player.
M4V is Apple's variant of the MP4 container, used for iTunes video. Aside from compatibility quirks, it's nearly identical to MP4 — converting removes the Apple-specific labeling so any player accepts it.
This is useful for M4V clips that some apps refuse to open. Conversion happens locally in your browser.
