"HOW TO WATCH ITUNES VIDEOS ON XPERIA DEVICES"Xperia is a well-known brand of phones and tablets from Sony. Some people like Sony devices for its distinct design and reliable performance. The most popular models are the phones and tablets Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4 etc. Now the latest model of Flagship is XZ. If you are also like the design of Xperia, it is highly recommended you to buy one for entertainment such as watching videos. However, since iTunes videos are only available on Apple’s ecosystem, you won’t be able to play iTunes videos on Xperia directly. Here in this page I will introduce another way to help you remove DRM and convert iTunes videos to Xperia compatible videos.

Part 1. What Cause You Can’t Play iTunes M4V on Sony Xperia Devices

There are a lot of reasons why you can’t play iTunes videos on Xperia. First of all, iTunes videos is in a proprietary M4V format, which are not supported by almost all the Sony Xperia mobile phones and tablets. You may think that you can solve this format compatible is by installing a new player since there are many free players online which supports M4V format of videos. Usually it does will work for common M4V files. However, it is not the case for the iTunes M4V files because they are loaded with the notorious iTunes FairPlay DRM protection. Under this mechanism, you have to authorize the digital video contents on Apple devices before you can enjoy them. That makes it nearly impossible for non-apple devices to play iTunes videos as you can’t bypass the authorization directly.

But please don’t worry. Good news is that there are many DRM programs have been developed to solve this annoyance today such as DRmare iTunes to Sony Xperia Converter for Mac/Windows. It integrates almost all the features of other converters like converting videos, removing DRM, customizing video parameters, subtitles, audio tracks and so on. With this tool, it is a cinch to remove the FairPlay DRM and convert the iTunes M4V videos to Sony Xperia compatible videos.

Part 2.  Convert iTunes Videos to Sony Xperia in a Easy Way

You can download the trial version and do it by yourself directly if you are an experienced user. Else you can follow me to do that step by step. You will find out how simple the process is to convert iTunes movies and TV shows.

Step 1Add iTunes M4V videos

Before you add the iTunes videos files, you’d better make sure that they have been downloaded completely and played well on the computer. I’d suggest you try to play them on the iTunes first. If they are played well, then you can import them to the software main screen by dragging and dropping.

Step 2Customize output video format

Different Sony Xperia mobile devices may supports different formats of videos. Take the new luxury Xperia XZ series for example, it natively supports 3GPP, AVI, MP4 etc. For other Xperia phones and tablets, they should be compatible with MP4 too. You can select a right format according to the video support list of your Xperia device. Here I will choose MP4(Lossless) and click ‘OK’.

Step 3Convert iTunes M4V to Sony Xperia

After that, you can click the ‘Conversion’ button slightly to start the converting process. You will see the iTunes flashes one second and plays the videos on the background. Please don’t close iTunes else it will interrupt the converting process. Once the process is done, there won’t be any DRM protection on the output videos and you will find that the video extension has been changed to the one you customized before.

Part 3.  Transfer iTunes Movies to Sony Xperia by Media Go or USB Cable 

That is great, you are almost done. Now it is time to transfer the iTunes videos to Sony Xperia and start to enjoy them on the device. The official way to transfer files such as videos, music and files etc. to Sony Xperia is by using the Media Go tool. Simply download it from the Sony official website and then you can install it to your computer and follow the screen instruction to connect your Xperia device to transfer data. It will take a while to do this though.

Another way to do that is to transfer the data via USB directly. Simply connect the Xperia to your computer by a USB cable. Then you can open the Xperia device on your computer and then you can copy and paste the converted videos to the Xperia device. Do you have any questions?
