How to Download and Convert 1080P iTunes HD Movies to MP4


I downloaded some 1080p HD episodes from iTunes that I would like to play on my HDTV. But it didn’t allow me to stream the movies to my TV via USB driver. Any workaround?

From iTunes 10.6, we were able to purchase 1080p HD movies and TV shows from iTunes Store. Due to the higher resolution and better image quality, the 1080p HD videos have become the top priority over the 720p and SD versions for most iTunes customers when buying movies and TV shows from iTunes. It could definitely be a fantastic experience to enjoy the 1080p HD movies on HD-supported devices. However, it has never been an easy job to put the 1080p iTunes movies to most of the HD video playing devices because of Apple’s FairPlay DRM.

As you might have noticed, due to Apple’s DRM technology, all iTunes movies, including the 1080p HD ones are “Protected M4V” files recognized by Apple’s devices only. So if you want to watch iTunes 1080p HD movies and TV shows on non-Apple players, like Android or Windows phones or tablets, you’ll need to get rid of the DRM protection and convert the protected 1080p HD M4V movies to MP4 or other non-DRM formats supported by most HD playing devices.
