Best Way To Repair Corrupt M4V Videos

Overview M4V File

M4V is a MPEG-4 file extension developed by Apple, which is a video format similar to MP4. M4V is used to encode movies or videos on Apple devices or in the iTunes Store, and it is protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management).

In general, M4V video files can only be played on iTunes and QuickTime. If you play M4V videos on Windows or Mac OS X without iTunes/QuickTime player, your M4V video files are not protected by DRM. Therefore, you will need to change the file extension from .m4v to .mp4 to play the videos on another operating system without DRM protection.

Common Reason For Corrupt M4V files

Although M4V has the protection of DRM, there are still many reasons that can cause corrupt M4V files. The common reasons for this corruption may include below:

1. The media player is faulty or does not support M4V videos.
2. Virus infection or malware attacks the video storage location.
3. The M4V file is incomplete and corrupt because of various causes like transmission interruption, decompression error, and even the conversion to MP4.
4. The disk that saved the MP4 videos has a bad track and the MP4 video is corrupt.

To fix virus infections, malware attacks or player issues, you can execute antivirus software or change another media player which supports M4V, but if the reason for unplayable is the corruption of M4V files, you need to look for another method.
