I have been digitising historic VCR tapes using AVer Studio which converts from analogue and then opens Toast to burn DVDs. When the digital copy is produced and saved to the Movies folder (Mac) it is an MP4 file. This will open and play using Quick Time Player on the Mac and should play also on a PC. But when it is burned to DVD by Toast, it becomes a M4V file. It will not play with QTP, but opens iTunes to play. The disks also play OK on a DVD player, but I am concerned they might not play on a PC.
Why the file change and will these M4V disks play on a PC, as promised by Toast?
