As an all-in-one FairPlay DRM killer, TunesKit iTunes M4V Converter is able to completely unlock DRM restriction from both iTunes M4V movie rentals and purchases. It’s supposed to strip DRM from iTunes videos by convert the M4V files to non-DRM media formats, such as lossless MP4, M4V, HD MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, WMV, FLV, MP3, AAC, WAV, etc. It works at up to 30X super faster speed while preserving all subtitles and audio tracks in output media files. Now let’s take a look at how to use TunesKit DRM M4V Converter for Mac to convert DRM-ed iTunes M4V to DRM-free formats.
The whole process to remove DRM from iTunes with TunesKit is combined with three simple steps only: adding files, adjusting output settings, and converting the iTunes videos. After launching TunesKit DRM M4V Converter for Mac, it will launch iTunes automatically and hide iTunes in the task bar. It provides users two ways to add iTunes movies to convert. We can just click “Add Files” button in the top center, then a window will pop up from which we can see a list of all iTunes movie files. Here we can choose the movies or TV shows we want to convert and click OK to load them into TunesKit conversion window. The other method to add iTunes M4V videos to TunesKit is drag-and-drop.
Now all movies we need to convert are listed in TunesKit properly with movie title, time length, file size, etc. Before we start to strip the DRM off, we are allowed to customize the settings according to our own needs. By clicking the Audio and Subtitle option next to the movie info, we can choose the target audio tracks and subtitles as we wish. Then we move to the bottom left to select the output format. TunesKit DRM M4V Converter for Mac supports a large number of popular video and audio formats, including MP4, M4V, AVI, MKV, MOV, MPG, FLV, MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AAC, and others. In addition, it provides various preset media devices, like Apple devices, Android phones and tablets, etc. Here we pick “lossless MP4” as output since it will keep output quality as the same with original movies by retaining the CC, Dolby 5.1 surround sound, AD track, multilingual subtitles, etc. The last step before start conversion is to choose the output folder by clicking Output option next to the format.
To start the conversion, simply click the “Convert” button at the bottom right of the program. Then it will begin removing DRM from the iTunes movies and converting the M4V files to lossless MP4 as expected. The progress bar will then display in the cover photo of the movie to show us the conversion status.
