How to Keep Subtitles (Closed Caption) While Converting iTunes DRM M4V to MP4

How can I save subtitles when removing DRM from protected iTunes movies?

“I’m a French user of iTunes and have stored a lot of iTunes movies with DRM protection locked. I recently decided to remove the DRM from those movies thus to import them to my newly bought Android phone for watching. But my problem is, I lost the subtitles of the iTunes movies after converting the DRM-ed iTunes videos to unprotected MP4 format. What’s more, since most of the movies I bought from iTunes Store come with multiple subtitles in which English is set to be the default language instead of French, I'm wondering if there is any iTunes DRM removal tool that can convert the protected M4V to MP4 while keeping the French as the only subtitle there?"

Movies, TV shows and other video files downloaded from iTunes Store are all locked by Apple’s FairPlay DRM copyright protection and saved in encrypted M4V format, because of which we can’t directly play the protected iTunes videos on any media players but only Apple’s.
