Thanks. I saw somewhere else that the formats were almost the same. This says they are the same.

As explained in the article, though, some players do not TREAT the extensions the same.

I have a TV that won't play an MP4 across the network unless it has the m4v extension. Same TV refuses to play MKV files, unless they have an avi extension, and those are incompatible formats. "Smart TVs" aren't very.
