How to Convert DRM Protected iTunes M4V Movies to MP4

When we buy movies and TV shows, no matter rentals or purchases, HD or SD in iTunes Store, we will be impossible to play those video files directly on any other media playing devices except for Apple’s. This is because that all movies and TV episodes sold from iTunes are locked by Apple’s FairPlay DRM technology, with which the iTunes videos are saved in protected M4V format that is recognized and supported by Apple’s software and devices only. In order to copy the DRM-ed M4V iTunes movies onto any non-Apple devices for watching, we need to get rid of the DRM restriction from iTunes movies and convert the DRM-protected M4V videos to a more commonly used unprotected video format, like MP4 which is compatible with almost all media players in the world.
