What to expect
- With H.264 already in the TS, this is a container change (remux) with no quality loss; other codecs need a lossy re-encode.
- The output is unprotected M4V - no Apple FairPlay DRM is involved.
- Broadcast extras such as teletext or subtitles in the TS may not survive the container change.
Frequently asked questions
Will the video quality change converting TS to M4V?
M4V is an MP4-family container, so H.264 video from the TS can usually be repackaged into M4V without re-encoding, preserving quality. Other codecs are re-encoded, which is lossy.
Why convert a TS to M4V?
M4V is Apple's video format for iTunes and the Apple TV app, so converting suits Apple software and devices that expect it.
What can play an M4V file?
A non-DRM M4V plays in VLC, QuickTime and Windows Media Player. M4V and MP4 are essentially the same container.
Does the M4V get Apple DRM?
No. Only videos purchased from Apple's store carry FairPlay DRM; a converted M4V is plain and unprotected, and no DRM is added.
