About M4V to FLAC Conversion
M4V files from Apple's ecosystem contain H.264 video with AAC audio, typically from iTunes purchases or Apple TV recordings. FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an open-source lossless audio compression format that achieves 50-70% compression while guaranteeing bit-perfect audio reconstruction. Converting M4V to FLAC extracts the audio and encodes it losslessly, producing files that are significantly smaller than WAV or AIFF while preserving every sample of the decoded audio.
Why Convert M4V to FLAC?
FLAC is the universal standard for lossless audio archiving, supported by virtually every platform except Apple's default apps (though Apple added FLAC playback in iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra). If you need to extract audio from M4V files for archiving, editing, or high-fidelity playback on non-Apple systems, FLAC provides the best combination of lossless quality, compression efficiency, and cross-platform support.
Common Use Cases
- Archiving soundtrack audio from M4V concert videos in lossless quality
- Extracting audio from M4V recordings for lossless editing in Audacity or Adobe Audition
