M4VGear
M4VGear is a video and music downloader and converter for macOS and Windows. It enables users to download video content from streaming services including Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and YouTube in high quality (up to 8K), with support for multiple audio tracks and subtitles. The app also converts Apple Music, Spotify and other formats to MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV and FLAC at accelerated speeds, and converts iTunes videos to common formats while preserving audio quality and metadata. It is marketed as a batch-capable tool with download speeds up to 10 times faster than real-time.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionM4VGear has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer supported. The Rosetta Check community database flags this app as end-of-life, meaning you will receive no further updates, security patches or compatibility fixes. While the Intel build still launches under Rosetta 2 today, Apple is removing Rosetta 2 from macOS 28 in September 2028, so M4VGear will stop working entirely on that release and beyond. If you currently rely on M4VGear for downloading or converting video and audio, you should begin migrating to an actively maintained alternative now. For video downloading, consider Downie (which is maintained and runs natively on Apple Silicon, though it is a paid app), or Yt-dlp (a free, open-source command-line tool that is extremely powerful and receives regular updates). For audio conversion, dedicated tools like XMedia Recode or Audacity (both with native Apple Silicon builds) handle format conversion well. The streaming services themselves increasingly offer offline viewing where supported, which may reduce your need for a separate downloader.
