How to Play iTunes M4V Movies by RealPlayer on any Devices

Which player do you use often? Personally I’d like the RealPlayer as it handle a lot of different video formats such as MP3, MPEG, MP4, FLV, AVI, WMA, M4A etc. and it works across different platforms such as Windows, Mac and Linux. It has been released since 1995 and it has been upgraded with higher performance. Many users use it for playing videos from many places, but it may not support iTunes videos. Here I will find another alternative way to help you play Tunes videos.

Part 1. Watch iTunes Movies on RealPlayer

As we know, iTunes is also in M4V format. You maybe puzzled why iTunes M4V videos are not playable considering that M4V format is on the RealPlayer support list. But one thing you need to know about is that iTunes purchased and rental M4V movies or TV shows are encrypted with DRM (Digital Rights Management) copyright protection. Under this condition, the iTunes movie episodes are only accessible within Apple’s ecosystem. Nowadays the official way to enjoy iTunes videos so far is by iTunes or QuickTime. This makes it really hard for some users to enjoy iTunes videos. If you’d rather not use iTunes player or Quicktime, there is another better solution by breaking the DRM protection. How? Luckily it is not a difficult job. You can simply get a DRM Media Converter such as the DRmare iTunes M4V to RealPlayer Converter to convert the iTunes videos. Then the DRM will be removed automatically. After that, It will save you a lot of hassles such as you don’t need to authorize the devices any more and there is not a limitation on the quantity of devices. You can enjoy them on RealPlayer in a most elegant way as you want.

Part 2. Convert iTunes Movies and TV Shows to RealPlayer Step by Step

Here I will take the DRmare software Mac version to list the general steps for your reference. The steps are same for both Windows and Mac actually.

Step 1Load iTunes DRM videos

To add the iTunes purchases and rentals to the software, you have to download them to iTunes completely first. Then you can drag and drop them from iTunes to DRmare software main screen. You can also click the ‘+’ icon to open the DRmare library manage window, it will list all the available iTunes DRM videos and you can select the ones you want.

Step 2Define output format for RealPlayer

By default, the output format is set as ‘MP4(LossLess)’ on the DRmare M4V Converter, you may keep the default format. Or you can select one of the formats supported by RealPlayer such as 3GP, 3GP2, FLV, WMV, M4V, AVI and so on. You can even customize the output parameters like bit rate, frame rate, codec, output folder, subtitle, audio track.

Step 3Remove DRM from iTunes M4V

At last, you can click the ‘Conversion’ button, DRmare iTunes to RealPlayer Converter will help to process the DRM files to common video files in a 30X faster speed. What worth to mention here is that the speed may varies on different devices as it is still related to the computer CPU, memory, motherboard, hard drive and operating system. So please just wait a while patiently for it to complete successfully.
