  <p>MP4 and M4V are essentially the exact same thing, M4V is usually used to indicate video only files but some sofware/companies are using it for standard MP4 files with video AND audio (lots of Apple software f.e.).
  It's just a convention to indicate the type of content. An audio only MP4 f.e. would have the extension .m4a.
  You can just rename the extension from .m4v to .mp4.</p>
