M4V Video Compressor
M4V is Apple's video format used by iTunes purchases, Apple TV+ downloads, and some Apple device exports. It is technically identical to MP4 but may include Apple's FairPlay DRM (digital rights management) protection. Non-DRM M4V files can be compressed and converted by CompressYourVideo.com just like any MP4, and the compressed output plays on every device. DRM-protected M4V files (purchased from iTunes) cannot be converted by any online tool without first removing the DRM, which is a separate process. If you have M4V files from screen recordings or personal exports (not iTunes purchases), they will compress without any issues.
