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.
RTF at a glance
RTF
Convert to RTF when you need a broadly readable styled-text document that avoids some of the heavier dependencies of full office formats.
It is appropriate for simple reports, letters, imported notes, legal drafts, and system exports where formatting should survive but advanced Word-specific features are not required.
Choose it when compatibility matters more than modern document capabilities.
