What is a MOV file?

MOV is Apple’s QuickTime video format, the default for footage recorded on iPhone and Mac. It offers excellent quality but larger files, and plays best in the Apple ecosystem - converting to MP4 makes it universal.

How to open a MOV file

MOV opens natively in QuickTime on Mac and iOS. On Windows or Android, use VLC or convert it to MP4 for full compatibility.

Output format

What is a M4V file?

M4V is Apple’s take on the MP4 video container, used by iTunes for films and TV shows. It is almost identical to MP4, but store-bought M4V files can carry DRM copy protection; renaming to .mp4 often works, otherwise a real conversion is needed.

How to open a M4V file

M4V plays in QuickTime, iTunes/Apple TV and VLC; for wider support convert it to MP4.
