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?

Hello, tracy.
There are many DRM removal tools online, such as: Mediacoder, AVS4Mac M4V Converter Plus, NoteBurner M4V Converter, SUPER. Most of them are free. If you are not familiar to how to convert video, you'd better use AVS4Mac M4V Converter(steps is simple).
