WebM is a video file format developed by Google, primarily intended to offer a royalty-free alternative to use in the HTML5 video tag. It is widely used in YouTube video files as part of its HTML5 player. All uploaded files are encoded into WebM in 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p resolutions. In short, most of YouTube videos are in WebM format.

So now comes the problem, if you are an Apple user and want to share your videos made by Apple devices to YouTube, you will find that it is impossible to import your iTunes videos to YouTube because the format of iTunes video is M4V, which is optionally protected by DRM copy protection and cannot be supported by YouTube.

How to upload iTunes videos to YouTube? Or is there any M4V to WebM converter which can enable us to convert iTunes M4V to WebM freely? Today in this post I will introduce the most convenient method to convert DRM M4V to WebM.

Part 1: Introduction of iTunes DRM Removal Program – Leawo TunesCopy

As we all know, M4V is a video container format developed by Apple and is very similar to the MP4 format. Differing from MP4, many M4V videos are protected by DRM copy protection, which makes it impossible to play iTunes video on many other mobile devices except Apple's iPhone/iPad/iPod/Apple TV. That is to say, we can play the M4V videos freely on other devices only by removing the DRM from M4V videos and converting it to MP4.

To convert DRM MP4 to WebM, the first thing we should do is to remove DRM from M4V. I think Leawo TunesCopy is the best and most convenient one to do this job. It is a professional iTunes DRM removal program to remove DRM from iTunes movies, Apple TV and Airplay and it is also used as M4V converter which can convert M4V to MP4. In addition, you won't have to worry about any quality loss because Leawo TunesCopy can perfectly preserve the original quality of iTunes M4V movies for keeping in the output MP4 video files.
