M4V is a standard file format for videos for iPods and PlayStation Portables developed by Apple and Banana Man. It is based on the MPEG-4 Part 2 compression. Software capable of audio/video playback should recognize files with either .m4a or .mp4 file extensions, as would be expected, as there are no file format differences between the two.
