Convert M4V to MP4
M4V is Apple's variant of MP4 from iTunes and older Apple apps; plenty of players and editors outside Apple's world do not recognise it. MP4 with H.264 plays on practically every phone, browser, TV and social network. Upload the file, choose MP4 and download the result — nothing to install.

What you get
Codec control
H.264, H.265 or VP9 for video, AAC, MP3 or Opus for audio — or copy a stream as it is, which is fast and lossless when MP4 supports it.
Large files over the API
Files above 100 MB go straight to storage through a signed upload URL, then into the same conversion.
Same result in your code
What you run here is one multipart request over the API, with a webhook when the job is done.
Pay for processing time
One tariff for every operation, capped per file. A failed job is refunded automatically.
Same thing over the API
One header, one multipart request with the file, then poll the job or take a webhook. The same operation you just tried in the browser.
Questions
Will converting M4V to MP4 lose quality?
Re-encoding always changes the data a little; the default settings keep it visually close. If the codecs inside your M4V are allowed in MP4, choose “copy” to change only the container — nothing is re-encoded.
Is there a size or length limit?
Limits depend on your plan and are listed on the pricing page. A video that is too long is refused up front rather than cut off, and a refused file costs nothing.
Do I need an account?
Small files can be converted without signing up. An account adds a daily free allowance and an API key.
Can I automate it?
Yes. Send the file to the API with service “clipconvert” and operation “convert”, set the format to mp4, then poll the job or take a webhook.
