Answered: Is There a Difference between M4V and MP4? M4V video format is a video container format. Though it is very similar to MP4, they are not the same thing. It is believed that the major difference between them is that some M4V files may be protected by DRM copy protection, which is often used by Apple to encode iTunes videos. MP4 stands for MPEG-4 Part 14. Technically speaking, MP4 files often use MPEG-4, H.264, or HEVC (also known as H.265) codec, while M4V files exclusively adopt H.264 codec.
