I downloaded some 1080p HD
episodes from iTunes that I would like to play on my HDTV. But it didn’t allow
me to stream the movies to my TV via USB driver. Any workaround?
From iTunes
10.6, we were able to purchase 1080p HD movies and TV shows from iTunes Store. Due
to the higher resolution and better image quality, the 1080p HD videos have
become the top priority over the 720p and SD versions for most iTunes customers
when buying movies and TV shows from iTunes. It could definitely be a fantastic
experience to enjoy the 1080p HD movies on HD-supported devices. However, it has
never been an easy job to put the 1080p iTunes movies to most of the HD video
playing devices because of Apple’s FairPlay DRM.
As you might
have noticed, due to Apple’s DRM technology, all iTunes movies, including the
1080p HD ones are “Protected M4V” files recognized by Apple’s devices only. So
if you want to watch iTunes 1080p HD movies and TV shows on non-Apple players, like
Android or Windows phones or tablets, you’ll need to get rid of the DRM
protection and convert the protected 1080p HD M4V movies to MP4 or other
non-DRM formats supported by most HD playing devices.
