M4V is Apple's MPEG-4 container with optional DRM support, while MKV (Matroska Video) is an open, highly flexible container format that can hold virtually any combination of video, audio, and subtitle streams. MKV supports advanced features like multiple audio tracks, soft subtitles in numerous formats (SRT, ASS, PGS), chapter markers, and attachments — all in a single file. Converting M4V to MKV unlocks these capabilities for use with media servers like Plex, Jellyfin, and Kodi.
MKV is the preferred container for media server ecosystems and enthusiast video collections. It supports features that MP4/M4V cannot: unlimited audio and subtitle tracks, fonts for styled subtitles, chapter markers with named sections, and nearly every video and audio codec ever created. If you are building a Plex or Jellyfin library from Apple content, MKV is the standard container that these systems handle best.
FFmpeg remuxes the M4V content into the Matroska container, typically using stream copy for both video (H.264) and audio (AAC) to avoid re-encoding. The H.264 and AAC streams are fully compatible with MKV, so this is a fast container-swap operation. Additional subtitle tracks can be merged in the same pass. MKV's header structure is more efficient for seeking than M4V, and the container adds no overhead compared to MPEG-4.
When using stream copy (recommended), there is zero quality loss — the video and audio bitstreams are transferred identically. MKV is purely a container change; it does not affect the encoded content. File sizes are nearly identical to the source M4V, often slightly smaller due to MKV's efficient header format.
