iTunes provides a wide variety of movies in the iTunes Store. Usually the latest movies that just leave the theater will show on iTunes and other streaming media service providers even before their Blu-ray version is available for sale. iTunes is a good place to catch up on the movies you miss out on when they are showing in theaters. When you download a movie from the iTunes Store, it’s usually in M4V format and Apple usually applies DRM protections on it for the purpose of preventing unauthorized distribution of the movie. Normal M4V videos with no DRM protection can be opened in a lot of media players and possibly some mobile handsets. But M4V videos with DRM protection on it can only played on Apple devices and iTunes. So, if you want to play the movie you rent or purchase from iTunes on a non-Apple device, the only way is to remove the DRM protection from it (we talked about how to remove DRM from iTunes rentals before). There are programs out there that could free you from Apple’s circle. Go through the content below to find instructions for removing DRM from your iTunes movies for free playback on mobile devices.
