With the ever increasing demand for high definition and quality video Adobe has introduced the F4V format for the Internet usage. F4V offers a better video quality than FLV does under the same conditions. F4V has quickly become a go-to format for embedded HD on the web and is often used for the distribution of dynamic media.

To play F4V video on Mac successfully you'll need a quality player like VLC or Adobe Flash Player, because F4V videos are not supported by most of the media players. If using VLC to play F4V video you'll need to install VLC codec pack or a flash player. What is recommended though is getting a more powerful F4V player Mac app.
