    About M4V and AAC

    M4V: M4V is Apple's MP4 variant used for iTunes movies and TV shows. Unprotected M4V files are identical to MP4.

    AAC: AAC is the successor to MP3 and the audio codec behind YouTube, iTunes and most streaming services. A .aac file stores the raw AAC stream without an MP4 wrapper.
