M4V vs ASF:
| Name | M4V | ASF |
| Full name | Raw MPEG-4 | Advanced Systems Format |
| File extension | .m4v | .asf |
| MIME | video/x-m4v | video/x-ms-asf, application/vnd.ms-asf |
| Developed by | Apple Inc. | Microsoft |
| Type of format | Video container | Digital container format |
| Introduction | The M4V file format is a video container format developed by Apple and is very similar to the MP4 format. The primary difference is that M4V files may optionally be protected by DRM copy protection. Apple uses M4V to encode video files in its iTunes Store. | Advanced Systems Format (formerly Advanced Streaming Format, Active Streaming Format) is Microsoft's proprietary digital audio/digital video container format, especially meant for streaming media. ASF is part of the Media Foundation framework. |
| Technical details | Unauthorized reproduction of M4V files may be prevented using Apple's FairPlay copy protection. A FairPlay-protected M4V file can only be played on a computer authorized (using iTunes) with the account that was used to purchase the video. | The format does not specify how the video or audio should be encoded; it just specifies the structure of the video/audio stream. This is similar to the function performed by the QuickTime, AVI, or Ogg container formats. One of the objectives of ASF was to support playback from digital media servers, HTTP servers, and local storage devices such as hard disk drives. |
