    About the formats

    .m4v

    M4V is Apple's variant of MP4, used by iTunes and the Apple TV app. Files without copy protection are almost identical to MP4.

    .gif

    GIF is an old image format limited to 256 colours per frame. It survives because it plays short animations everywhere, from chat apps to email, without needing a video player.
