And the m4v vs mp4 item is like a non-issue for me. From the Handbrake manual: |

They are the exact same file, the only difference is the extension. MP4 vs M4v. |
26 |
|
27 |
For MP4 files, HandBrake will automatically use the extension M4V when |
28 |
you pass-through audio (AC3), use SRT subtitles or have chapter |
29 |
markers enabled. |
30 |
|
31 |
You can simply change the file extension between .mp4 and .m4v as the |
32 |
file is exactly the same. There are no differences in the content or |
33 |
container itself. |
34 |
|
35 |
You can disable the option to automatically set this in HandBrakes preferences. |
