5.1 audio, also known as AC3 audio or Dolby
Digital, is a surround sound commonly used in both commercial cinemas and home
theaters to present us amazing sound effects while watching movies. Currently,
most movies sold online come with Dolby 5.1 surround audio track, like the ones
in iTunes Store. However, if you bought movies with AC3 5.1 audio from iTunes,
you are likely to encounter problems when you attempt to transferring the
iTunes movies to certain media players or home theater system for watching,
like the following one:
“I
purchased some movies with Dolby 5.1 audio track from iTunes. But due to Apple’s
FairPlay DRM, I just can’t directly get them to play on VLC. So I removed the
DRM with some exclusive iTunes DRM remover. However, when I tried to watch the
converted videos with VLC, I found the AC3 5.1 surround sound of the original
videos lost and I can’t choose it in VLC for playing. My question is whether
there is any tool that could convert the DRM-ed iTunes videos to unprotected
format while keeping the AC3 Dolby 5.1 audio?”
If you are facing the same problem and
looking for a work-around to retain 5.1 surround sound for iTunes movies, keep
reading.
As you may know, all iTunes movies and TV episodes
with 5.1 audio track are locked by Apple’s FairPlay DRM protection, in which
way they are not allowed to be directly played or transferred to any digital
media players other than Apple’s. In this case, you will need to remove the DRM
from iTunes movies with iTunes DRM removal software thus to watch the DRM-free
movies with AC3 5.1 audio on any devices you like.
