About MOV and M4V
MOV: MOV is Apple's QuickTime format and the default for videos recorded on iPhone. Recent iPhones record MOV files in HEVC (H.265), which many Windows PCs and older Android phones can't play.
M4V: M4V is Apple's MP4 variant used for iTunes movies and TV shows. Unprotected M4V files are identical to MP4.
