M4VGear
M4VGear is a video conversion and file management utility for macOS designed to convert video files to and from the MP4 and M4V formats. It is commonly used by users who need to transcode video files for compatibility with specific devices or platforms, such as Apple devices, or who need to remove DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection from protected media files. The app handles batch conversion, preserves video quality across format changes, and offers straightforward file management features. It is popular among users working with iTunes-protected content or who require flexible video format support on macOS.

1 suggestionNo current information is available confirming whether M4VGear has been updated with native Apple Silicon support. The app appears to have limited recent public documentation or developer activity. If you currently rely on M4VGear, we recommend contacting the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned or available. As actively maintained alternatives with native Apple Silicon support, consider HandBrake (free, open-source, and widely used for video transcoding), FFMPEG (command-line based, highly flexible), or commercial options like ClipConverter or VideoProc, all of which run natively on M-series Macs. If your primary need is converting iTunes-protected media, check Apple's own tools or consult the latest guidance on DRM handling, as the legal and technical landscape has shifted in recent years.
