How to Convert MP4 Files to MP3, AVI, WMV, 3GP, etc

As any other container format like AVI (.avi), QuickTime (.mov) and MPEG (.mpg, .mpeg), MP4 is also a container format that allows you to combine different multimedia streams (mostly audio and video) into one single file.

And MP4 files generally have the following extensions:
.mp4 – official extension
.m4v – a file extension introduced by Apple for video + audio files, .m4v can be safely renamed to .mp4 (.m4v is used in Apple iTunes and iPod)
.m4a – a file extension introduced by Apple for audio-only files, .m4a can safely be renamed to .mp4
.m4p - used by Apple iTunes for DRM protected files
