What is M4V?

M4V is a file container format used by Apple's iTunes application. The M4V file format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to MP4 format. The differences are optional Apple's DRM copyright protection and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for MP4 container.
