How Can I Copy iTunes Videos to USB Drive

Many of you may face a problem when trying to copy iTunes movies or TV episodes to your USB stick. It will simply not allow you to put any iTunes video file to USB flash by popping up a message saying that the format is not supported. If you are in such a case and would like to transfer iTunes videos to USB flash drive for back up or something else, you can follow the tutorial here to learn why you can’t directly put iTunes movies on USB as well as how to make iTunes movies supported by the USB drive.

Why Can’t We Transfer iTunes Videos to USB Drive

The main reason why iTunes movies and TV shows are not allowed to be transferred to USB stick is because iTunes videos are all protected by Apple’s FairPlay DRM encryption. With that protection, we can only play the iTunes movie files on Apple-approved devices, which doesn’t include the USB drive. The good news is that, even though iTunes movies are DRM-protected, we can still put the DRM-ed videos on USB drive if we successfully get rid of the DRM lock from the movies.
