LIT at a glance
LIT
Convert to LIT only when preserving compatibility with a legacy ebook collection or reproducing historical Microsoft Reader assets.
In most modern workflows the goal is to extract and migrate LIT content into EPUB or Kindle-oriented formats.
Use it as a legacy bridge, not a preferred modern ebook target.
M4V at a glance
M4V
Convert to M4V when the recipient workflow is Apple-centric, especially for personal libraries, legacy iTunes compatibility, or environments where Apple video metadata and playback conventions matter.
It is useful as a practical delivery format inside that ecosystem.
For the broadest cross-platform playback, standard MP4 is usually the safer choice.
