M4V to AAC

Upload an M4V video and save its audio track as AAC. This converter is useful when you need the sound without the video stream.

M4V is a video file format that has been downloaded from the Apple iTunes store. The format contains TV shows, videos, films, music. It looks like a .MP4 file, but it sometimes has copy protection when Apple's FairPlay DRM is used (technical copyright protection). The M4V format, i.e., MPEG-4 iTunes Video File, was developed by Apple. MP4 is a container format. Like the same formats as MOV, AVI, MKV, it provides the ability to combine a variety of multimedia streams into one file. Mostly it is audio and video. In order to play the protected M4V file, the computer must be authorized using the iTunes account from which the videos were purchased. In this case, it can be used in order to buy video. Unprotected M4V files can be played by other video players if the extension is changed from .M4v to .Mp4. Files with the M4V extension contain both sound and video data. You can convert M4V files to MP4 format. In this case, it will be possible to play them on other computers, since the M4V files are protected by DRM. MP4 files, compared to the M4V format, do not allow you to specify partition information.

AAC is a sound encoded file format developed by Fraunhofer IIS, AT&T, Dolby and Sony. Its name stands for Advanced Audio Coding. The AAC format is an industry standard and was created as an improved alternative to the most common MP3 audio file format. AAC files do have slightly improved features compared to MP3s. Let's say this format provides the opportunity for improved processing of frequencies above 16 kHz. At the same time, the sound quality of AAC files is closer to the original sound source.
