02 / what you get

What happens to your data

Kept

  • Videos from iTunes and Apple devices are read
  • The soundtrack as a 192 kbps MP3, which plays everywhere. Surround sound is mixed down to stereo
  • Title, artist and similar tags are copied when the video has them

Good to know

  • Videos bought or rented in iTunes are copy-protected and cannot be converted. Only DRM-free M4V files work.
  • The picture is dropped: you get audio only.
  • A video with no audio track is refused with a message that says so.
  • Files up to 150 MB are accepted. Long or very high-resolution videos can take several minutes, and a conversion that runs past about 4 minutes is stopped with a message.

M4V vs MP3

M4V

An M4V file is Apple's own variant of the MP4 container, used by iTunes, Apple TV, and podcast video. Functionally near-identical to MP4.

Used in: iTunes & Apple TV · Podcast video

MP3

An MP3 file is the most common compressed audio format — small file size, works everywhere, though it loses some audio quality in the process. It's what you'll get from most music downloads, podcasts, and voice recordings.

Used in: Music downloads · Podcasts · Universal playback
