On a normal operating system, there are a vast number of file extensions that work in concert with the operating system itself or the programs that are installed on the system. Most of these file extensions are easily recognize and commonly used day in and day out by the average computer user. But there are times when these users will encounter an odd file format that they have not seen before and therefore are unfamiliar with. Most times, this happens when a user wants to install a new software package, being unfamiliar with the new file extensions that are installed on the operating system during the process. Other users may encounter these file extensions when they are in the process of deleting unwanted files from their operating system.

My computer was always popping up with registry errors and I couldnt get rid of them. Regtask did the job for me and took less then 5 minutes to speed up my computer.

I have to admit I'm no computer geek. When something goes wrong, I usually have to call someone to fix it and it costs me a lot of money. When my computer started to experience random freezes, I just used Regtask and now it works normally again.
David G.
My computer is 5 years old and runs extremely slow now. I was a bit sceptical about using Regtask, but just decided to give it a shot in the end and it worked out fantastically for me.

More Info Regarding File Extension M4v
The m4v file extension is a part of the MPEG-4 audio and video coding standard, created by the ISO / IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (which makes up the abbreviation MPEG) sometime during the late 1990s. The MPEG-4 standard features an entire collection of digital container formats and processes that deal with the issue of compressing audio and video data without losing visual and/or audio quality. The MPEG-4 standard is represented by 23 part levels, each containing specific sets of capabilities and functions that have been developed and implemented by various developers. The m4v file extension is a part of the MPEG-4 Part 2 standard and serves as a container file format for raw MPEG-4 visual bit streams, focusing solely on video compression. MPEG-4 Part 2 itself contains 21 subset profiles, addressing different needs that range from low resolution video to high definition television broadcasting. In addition to video, the m4v file format is also able to contain other visual data such as still textures and synthetic images.
The two most common profiles are Advanced Simple and Simple. The Simple profile is utilized for use in applications that require low bit rate and low resolution due to the limited capabilities of the hardware or software it is hosted on. This profile is usually deployed in cell phones with recording and playback features, surveillance systems and some lower end video conferencing systems. The Advanced Simple profile has greater support features than its Simple counterpart.
There are a number of video coding libraries and other developmental implementations that are able to utilize the m4v file extension format, including QuickTime, DivX, Nero Digital and Xvid. The m4v file format can also be played on software media players such as Apple iTunes and QuickTime Player, RealPlayer and Media Player Classic. There are also portable devices that are able to play or at least support the m4v format, including the Apple iPod, iPhone and Microsoft's Xbox 360 video gaming console and Zune portable media player. It is easy to confuse the m4v file format for the m4a file format or any number of formats which have been split off from the mp4 container format.
