In this article, we will introduce you 2 ways of converting M4V to WMV with online M4V to WMV converter and M4VGear. It could simply solve the problem like this:

I've searched the net and have been unable to find a solution for converting .m4v files to Windows Media .wmv files. The issue is that I'm creating audio slide shows in iMovie that I'd like to share with colleagues using Windows. If they don't have Quicktime (downloading it isn't always an option as they're on corporate systems) then they can't view the movies. Does anyone have a recommendation as to how I can either create them in .wmv format or convert them? Any help is greatly appreciated!
