Default export option for Keynote slideshow is no longer .m4v.

Up until now, the default option for exporting a Keynote slideshow (with audio) was .m4v. Now the only option is .mov. When sharing online, some viewers claimed to have problems opening .mov files but not .m4v. Is this new default option (.mov) a change by Apple, or is there an option to return to .m4v that I'm missing?

NotchLC Codec - AdobeCC - M1 Processor I have just bought a new MacBook Pro (arriving this month). I have only just discovered that it is not compatible with NotchLC. I export video files in this format from Creative Cloud/Pro/AE. Who is the entity I need to speak to to resolve this? Adobe? Notch? Apple? It is such a shame! Any help appreciated.

How to save movie as .mp4 instead of .movpkg I recently purchased movies and when I saved them, they downloaded in the ".movpkg" format instead of a MP4 as I am used to downloading. I have a large library of movies and have saved them on an external drive to save space on my computer and to be able to watch them offline. The ".movpkg" format does not work with my prior use of my purchased movies. I have been trying to find a way to save my new movies in the standard ".mp4" files. The prior workaround I attempted to follow the existing answer on this issue in Huffman1132 Q (Jan 17, 2020), answer by kslksl (Feb 18, 2020): "I just finally figured this out as I was facing the same issue and movies downloaded on our mac computer would not play on our Apple TV. I went to TV app > Preferences > Playback and made sure both "Download Multichannel Audio" and "Download HDR when available" were unchecked. When I restarted the movie download it came down as an m4v file." However, with the new version of Monterey, these preferences are no longer available. What can I do now?
