Even though Apple removed DRM protection from its songs and music videos but still the majority of the Films and TV shows on iTunes are protected by DRM. In simple terms, it means that you will not be able to play the purchased iTunes movies on non-Apple devices. But, what if we tell you that you can? Yes, it’s possible to remove DRM and convert M4V files to the MP4 format which is supported by all the devices. In this review, we introduce an M4V Converter software that will help you strip DRM protection real quick and easily.
Disclaimer: DRM removal from files should only be done for personal use. If you intend to make a profit out of it or use it for piracy and commercial purposes then you will be responsible for it. For more details read our article on DRM removal and it’s legalization.

How To Remove DRM From iTunes Videos?
1. Open the software and click on Add Files at the top left.
Make sure you have iTunes installed on your PC/Mac.
2. The software will load all downloaded M4V videos from your iTunes library and show them. Select the desired videos and click Add.

The processing will start. Sit back and relax while the software converts the videos for you.
In my case, it took around 1 minute for a 497 MB video.
After the conversion is complete you can find the converted video in the following path by default.
/Users/[Your_Username]/Documents/TuneFab M4V Converter/Converted
You can select a different path for converted videos if desired by clicking on Options.
