What is M4V?

iTunes Video (.m4v). M4V is Apple's variant of MP4, used by iTunes and the Apple TV app. A DRM-free M4V is an ordinary MP4 with another extension; files bought from the iTunes Store carry copy protection, which no converter, Filoshi included, can remove.

Common use: Videos from iTunes and Apple apps

Output format

What is MXF?

Material Exchange Format (.mxf). MXF is the SMPTE-standard container of broadcast and professional cameras, such as Sony XDCAM and Canon cinema cameras. It carries professional codecs and timecode metadata; consumer players rarely open it, so MXF is converted for review copies.

Common use: Broadcast and professional camera footage

Questions about M4V to MXF

Is converting M4V to MXF free?
Yes, one file at a time: the converter on this page runs in your browser, files up to 200 MB, no sign-up. The Filoshi desktop app ($29 once, for Windows) converts many files at once and has no size limit.
Does converting M4V to MXF lose quality?
Yes, a little. MXF is a lossy format, so some detail is thrown away when the file is saved. Filoshi re-encodes the video at a high-quality setting, so the difference is usually hard to see. M4V is lossy too, so this is a second round of compression; convert from the original, not from earlier conversions.
Is my M4V file uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter on this page runs in your browser with FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly; your M4V file is read and converted on your device and never sent to a server. The desktop app works the same way, offline.
Has M4V to MXF been tested?
Yes. M4V to MXF is one of the 1,841 conversions that passed Filoshi's automated test matrix on Windows 11.
Can I convert many M4V files at once?
Yes, in the desktop app. Drop as many M4V files as you like on the window, pick MXF once for all of them, and each file shows its own progress. The new files appear next to the originals, which are never changed.
