How to convert M4V to DIVX
- Add your .M4V file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .DIVX in a few seconds.
- Download your new .DIVX file.
What to expect
- DRM-protected iTunes purchases cannot be converted - standard tools will error or produce a corrupt output file.
- Re-encoding H.264 to MPEG-4 Part 2 always causes quality loss; the DivX codec is less efficient per bit than H.264.
- AVI containers used for DivX output drop chapters, soft subtitles, and iTunes metadata stored in the original
.m4v.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a DRM-protected iTunes `.m4v` to DivX?
No - FairPlay DRM blocks re-encoding by any standard tool; the file can only be played in Apple-authorized software.
Why does HandBrake not show a DivX option?
HandBrake removed the dedicated DivX preset - select MPEG-4 under Video Codec instead, which uses the same MPEG-4 Part 2 specification and plays on DivX-certified hardware.
My old DVD player is DivX-certified. Will the converted file play?
Most likely yes - use AVI output with MPEG-4 video and MP3 audio, and keep the resolution at or below 720×480 for SD-certified players.
Do I need to convert if I just want to watch in DivX Player on my PC?
Probably not - DivX Player for Windows and macOS has supported H.264 for years, so try renaming
.m4v to .mp4 and opening it directly.Programs that convert M4V: Movavi Video Converter Personal · Wondershare Video Converter · Apple TV Video Converter · 4Media Video Converter for Mac · Aimersoft Video Converter for Mac
