Notes about the M4V file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The M4V file type is primarily associated with 'MPEG-4'. You often see BIFS associated with MPEG-4. BIFS stands for "Binary Format for Scenes". BIFS provides a complete framework for the presentation engine of MPEG-4 terminals. Play MP4 files with various players; just download the correct CODEC from the player's Website. For a summary of how to view an MPEG-4 movie on a Sony PSP, see the FAQ.

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open M4V files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
