Apple Video to IRCAM conversion is the process of transforming an M4V file, Apple's MPEG-4 based video container commonly used by iTunes and iOS devices, into the IRCAM format, a specialized audiovisual format used for research and artistic applications at IRCAM. This conversion extracts and rewraps video (and optionally audio or metadata) so the file becomes compatible with IRCAM tools and workflows while preserving timing and synchronization information.
