How to Make an M4V in iShowU
If you have been online and watched a software tutorial, you know what a screencast is. Video software tutorials show an instructor's computer screen as they use the program. Some Mac owners have a program called iShowU, which is used to record screencasts. Once they're recorded, iShowU asks you what kind of video format the video should be saved as. There many options here, including the M4V format.
