I've got these .m4v files that I want to convert to something that iMovie can read (like .mp4 or .mov).

The problem is, every program I've found that can convert .m4v files gives you two options...

1) Download trial but the trial only lets you convert 50% or 1 minute of the file

or

2)Spend $20-40 on the full program

After a long search, it amazes me there's not a free program out there that can convert .m4v files, to the fullest, for free.

Does anybody know of a free converter?
