As we know, videos, movies and music purchased from iTunes Store are copy-protected by Apple’s DRM. Due to the DRM protection, you can only play and watch your iTunes purchases on Apple products like iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc. If you want to watch iTunes movies on your TV, or watch your iTunes videos on non-Apple programs or devices like HTC, Samsung, PSP, Zune, Xbox 360, Windows Media Player and more, you will have to remove DRM from iTunes videos first.

As one of the best DRM removal softwares, NoteBurner’s simplicity makes it a joy to use and it does an excellent job of converting different audio formats, including DRM protected videos. Actuall, this DRM removal tool is an iTunes video DRM removal software which can only remove DRM control and convert iTunes m4v movie purchase and rental.
Pros:
- Allows batch conversion and highly customized
- Fast conversion speed
- Keep the original quality
Cons:
- Not allow you to get rid of restriction from other DRM-protected contents like Digital Copy, Amazon Instant Videos etc
- Pice is a little higher
Conclusion
As we all know, Mac apps for removing DRM are very rare. And I find Pavtube ChewTune for Mac/Noteburner M4V Converter Plus for Mac are powerful, but Pavtube can deal more DRM videos. For Windows users, there are more options. But if you want to keep subtitles and get the output videos are in highest quality, I think Pavtube ChewTune is the best choice.
From above, you can choose a suitable DRM Media Converter and use it to convert DRM protected iTunes movies and TV shows to non-Apple programs or devices like HTC, Samsung, PSP, Zune, Xbox 360, Windows Media Player, etc. and share them with your family/friends without any limits.
