Apple TV 4K Supports HEVC Container?

The Apple TV 4K will be released which can support the 4K video format, it’s not the big news anymore, we all are waiting for the great day. In preparation for the forthcoming Gen 5 Apple TV, many Apple TV fans are guessing that Apple TV 4K will support the 4K HEVC container or H.264 ? or the MKV container or the MP4 container? From the Apple TV official website, we can’t get the right answer now. Following is the main answers from the 10000+ users feedback.

  1. From the Apple TV 4, we know that Apple TV 4 is due to be compatible with H.265 too, it’s just that it won’t support hardware decoding.
  2. H.265 codecs still work within MP4 containers, so Apple will most likely continue to use those rather than the superior MKV containers.
  3. Other users even speculate that the M4V file format is a video container format developed by Apple and is very similar to the MP4 format, the primary difference is that M4V files may optionally be protected by DRM copy protection. Maybe Apple TV 4K can use the M4V container.

Whatever Apple TV 4K support the H.264 or H.265 codec in MP4, MOV or MKV video container, you can play them all on Apple TV 4K, why? You just need one powerful Apple TV 4K video converter which can convert the 4K video to Apple TV 4K best supported 4K video format. We don’t worry about the 4K video incompatibility issue any more.
