Part 1: Why Convert iTunes Music Videos to MP4?

M4V is a DRM-protected multimedia video format designed for Apple products such as the iPhone, iTunes store and iPod. To play such video files, you need to have the QuickTime codec installed on your device and you may need a special media player to watch such music videos.

MP4 is a container format that allows audio, video, subtitles and still images to be combined in one file. Compared with the M4V, the MP4 is more widely recognized. It can be played using various video players and hardware devices, such as iTunes, iPod, iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Media Player Classic, VLC media player, PS4, Xbox, Car System, etc.

iTunes music videos are not allowed to be copied and converted due to DRM protection. In order to enjoy iTunes music videos on their other media players and devices, they will look for ways to convert DRM-protected M4V files into some of the more popular video formats (like MP4) so that they can watch iTunes movies, music videos and TV shows on almost all media players and any HD devices as they want.
