iTunes videos are known for being protected by Apple’s Digital Rights Management, short named as DRM. If you purchase or rent some videos from iTunes store, due to DRM protection, you are limited to ways for enjoying those iTunes videos on Apple devices or players. What if you want to watch iTunes videos on Android devices? Neither iTunes movies nor iTunes TV shows can be directly played on Android devices (phones and tablets). Apple encodes videos in iTunes store in M4V format that is protected by Apple’s FairPlay DRM. In order to play iTunes video on Android devices, you have to remove DRM protection from iTunes videos.

Part 1: Why Android Devices Cannot Directly Play iTunes Videos?

As is mentioned in the very beginning, iTunes Videos are well protected by Apple’s own Digital Rights Management, which prevent iTunes videos including iTunes movies and iTunes TV shows from being played on other devices instead of devices or players authorized by an Apple ID that users log in to purchase or rent those iTunes videos. In other words, due to Apple’s DRM protection, iTunes videos cannot be directly played on Android devices, be it tablet or phone. But what to do if we insist to play iTunes videos on Android devices? Removing DRM protection from iTunes videos seems to be a good option.

Part 5: Convert iTunes Videos to Android with Requiem

The last iTunes videos to Android converter I want to talk about is Requiem, which can remove FairPlay DRM (created by Apple Inc) from songs, videos, and eBooks purchased on iTunes. It is the best freeware to decrypt Apple's DRM-ed files free from protecting without any loss of quality from the original source file, which had gained quite a bit of popularity among users. However, Requiem has stopped updating since 2012, and Requiem 4.1 was the last version. However, Requiem is not compatible with iTunes 12. If you really want to strip DRM for free with Requiem, then you would have to downgrade your iTunes to Version 10.7 or lower version.

Step 1. Scan iTunes Videos
Kick off Requiem on your computer, and then it will scan your iTunes directory for any protected files and begin to remove the DRM protections. If you get any errors, make sure that you've authorized iTunes and that the videos are playable.

Step 2. Remove DRM
When the DRM removal process is done, Requiem will delete the protected versions of your iTunes videos and replace them with entirely unprotected versions.

Step 3. Transfer DRM-Free iTunes Videos to Android
 Connect your Android device with your computer, head to your media folder in Windows Explorer and transfer the converted files to your Android device for offline watching on the go.
