Also known as .m4v
The M4V file format is a video container format developed by Apple and is very similar to the MP4 format. The primary difference is that M4V files may optionally be protected by DRM copy protection. Besides, the extension also signals to operating systems like "Microsoft Windows" that the video clip is actually about a licensed movie, and not just a simple clip in particular. This also ensures that embedded covers are correctly displayed in the Windows file explorer.
