\n<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\nPart 1: Why cannot upload M4V to Facebook directly<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Why can\u2019t we upload M4V videos to Facebook directly? There are quite a few reasons for this. To get the answer, we need to firstly get into M4V and Facebook. <\/p>\n
Firstly, let\u2019s talk about M4V video format. The M4V file format is a video container format developed by Apple and is very similar to the MP4 format. The primary difference is that M4V files may optionally be protected by DRM copy protection. M4V videos could be DRM-free and DRM protected. Apple has applied FairPlay DRM protection upon its iTunes M4V videos. Therefore, if you have purchased videos from iTunes Store, you could only play back these iTunes M4V videos on Apple related players like iTunes, QuickTime, iPhone, iPad, and iPod. <\/p>\n
DRM-free M4V videos could be played back by Apple\u2019s devise and player, and other media players like VLC, Zoom Player, VLC media player, MPlayer, DivX Plus Player, Free Blu-ray Player<\/a>, etc. It is quite easy to distinguish whether an M4V video is DRM protected or not. Just open it with 3rd-party media player like VLC and MPlayer rather than Apple\u2019s own devices. DRM protected M4V videos would refuse 3rd-party media players. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nWell, on the other hand, Facebook, as one of the most popular social networks in the world, prefers videos uploaded in MP4 or MOV formats, even though it announces to accept DRM-free M4V videos. The below is a complete list of what video formats Facebook accepts: 3g2 (Mobile Video), 3gp (Mobile Video), 3gpp (Mobile Video), asf (Windows Media Video), avi (AVI Video), dat (MPEG Video), divx (DIVX Video), dv (DV Video), f4v (Flash Video), flv (Flash Video), gif (Graphics Interchange Format), m2ts (M2TS Video), m4v (MPEG-4 Video), mkv (Matroska Format), mod (MOD Video), mov (QuickTime Movie), mp4 (MPEG-4 Video), mpe (MPEG Video), mpeg (MPEG Video), mpeg4 (MPEG-4 Video), mpg (MPEG Video), mts (AVCHD Video), nsv (Nullsoft Video), ogm (Ogg Media Format), ogv (Ogg Video Format), qt (QuickTime Movie), tod (TOD Video), ts (MPEG Transport Stream), vob (DVD Video), and wmv (Windows Media Video). <\/p>\n
Therefore, if your M4V videos are DRM protected, you need to firstly remove the DRM protection and then convert to MP4 or MOV file format with iTunes M4V video converter. If your M4V videos are DRM-free and you fail to upload these M4V videos to Facebook, you will be recommended to convert DRM-free M4V video to MP4 format for uploading. The below content would show you how to solve these problems for difference cases: uploading DRM protected M4V video and DRM-free M4V video to Facebook respectively. <\/p>\n
