Part 1: Clean TV Shows before Burning<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n\nTo make burning TV shows to DVD disc on Mac smooth and successful, you may need to firstly clean source TV shows - making it DRM protection free<\/strong><\/span> if necessary. This is not hard to understand for those people who have purchased TV shows from iTunes, as these iTunes TV shows are all DRM protected, which protects files against copying and burning. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAll things you purchase and download from iTunes store are DRM protected, including videos, music, TV shows, slideshows, books, etc. With the DRM protection, there is no legal way to burn TV shows to DVD disc for playback on DVD players on your Mac. DVD players do not know how to decrypt them. In order to make the videos playable in a DVD player, you would need to circumvent the DRM and this is illegal in many countries. If you're in a place where removing DRM protection is not illegal, you may then try some DRM removal tools to remove DRM protections beforehand, like Tunebite<\/a>. <\/p>\n
Actually, to play TV shows purchased from iTunes, there's an alternative. You could buy an AppleTV and hook it up to your television. It would allow you to stream your iTunes shows to your TV while keeping your laptop and iPad free for your own use.\n<\/p>\n
Note<\/strong>: This post doesn't aim to encourage you to break laws by removing DRM protection, but offer effective solution and information on burning DRM-free TV shows to DVD disc so as to let you play TV shows on DVD player. Check your local laws first in necessary. <\/span><\/p>\n
