Convert M4V to MPEG

File Extension M4V
Full Name MPEG-4 Video File Format

M4V files store video data encoded using MPEG-4 standard. M4V format uses copyright protection technology called FairPlay. This solution prevents the file to be opened on unauthorized devices.

File Extension MPEG
Full Name MPEG Movie

MPEG is a file format used to store digital video material. Movies in such a file are encoded with MPEG-1 standard. Most often, such files are used to stream movies over the network. Such files may also be stored locally on a storage medium. The audio in the MPEG file is encoded with MPEG-1 Layer II (MP2).

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "M4V") to another (referred to as "MPEG"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, M4V file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format M4V to format MPEG becomes essential.

So, how can we perform M4V to MPEG file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format M4V and transforming it into format MPEG. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of M4V to MPEG converters.

How to convert the M4V file to MPEG?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of M4V to MPEG. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the M4V file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file M4V, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the M4V file to the application
  • Select the output format of the MPEG file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file MPEG on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted MPEG file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
