What's M4V? Why Do You Need to Remove DRM from It?

M4V is a container video format developed by Apple and is very similar to the MP4 format. A file with the .m4v file extension is a MPEG-4 Video container file format. The M4V file is also known as an iTunes video file because the movies, TV shows, and music videos that you purchase or rent from the iTunes store are encoded as M4V files. The primary difference between M4V and MP4 is that M4V files are protected by Apple's FairPlay DRM encryption. (If you want to know more details about M4V, you can read this article: What is M4V? )


DRM is the abbreviation for Digital Rights Management, which is the management of legal access to digital content. Apple Inc. adds FairPlay DRM protection on all their iTunes M4V videos for preventing anyone from attempting to view or copy video content on non-Apple devices. That means although you've purchased or rented iTunes M4V videos in the iTunes store, you can only play them on devices supported by Apple officials, while it is impossible to stream these video contents on any other devices without official authorization. Therefore, if you want to stream iTunes video content on other devices, the first thing to do is to remove DRM protection from these iTunes M4V videos by using an M4V converter. And then you need to convert the file format to MP4 by using an M4V converter.
