What changes when you convert M4V to AAC?
This conversion removes the picture from the M4V file and saves its audio track as AAC. Video resolution and frame rate do not carry into the result.
- Add multiple videos, choose the audio output and set a trim range when only part of the track is needed.
- Open the finished AAC file and check fine details, layout and compatibility in the app where you plan to use it.
