Unauthorized reproduction of M4V files may be prevented using Apple's FairPlay copy protection.

Unlike the audio-only compression formats MP3 and MP2, MP4 is a container format that can hold various types of media from various codecs. During the 2000s, portable media players were sometimes erroneously advertised as "MP4 players", even if they may play a different format like AMV video and not necessarily the MPEG-4 Part 14 format. Data streams Most kinds of data can be embedded in MPEG-4 Part 14 files through ''private streams''. A separate hint track is used to include streaming information in ...
