How about the HandBrake if you are going to convert M4V to MP4 on Windows computer? Its advantages are that it is very popular, reliable and supports batch processing. Maintain high quality.
How to convert M4V to MP4 on Windows 11:
- Download from HandBrake
- Install and open it.
- Drag your M4V file into HandBrake.
- Under Summary, set the format to MP4.
- Choose your preset (e.g., "Fast 1080p30").
- Click Start Encode.
HandBrake sometimes automatically converts M4V to MP4, but if your M4V has DRM copy protection, it won’t work. Usually, M4V files from iTunes are protected, so this method works best for unprotected files.
If your M4V files are from iTunes or other DRM-protected sources, these free tools won’t be able to convert them unless you remove DRM first (which can be legally tricky). For DRM-free files, these methods work great.
