How to Upload iTunes Videos to Flicker

Flicker is a great website for sharing pictures or videos etc. with up to 1TB free space. By uploading videos, you can share them with your friends or family members. Also, you can embed the videos to your blog or social websites. But you may encounter technical issue that the videos can’t be played after uploading iTunes videos. That is because they are all protected by the FairPlay DRM protection. Please don’t worry, if you are also interested in uploading iTunes videos to Flicker, please follow me in this post to find out the answer.

PART 1. SOFTWARE YOU NEED TO CONVERT ITUNES VIDEOS TO FLICKR

Unlike other home videos or video clips, iTunes videos including movies and TV shows, Extras are all added with the FairPlay DRM theme, which is designed for preventing users from copying and sharing iTunes videos. As a result, the common error you may encounter when uploading an iTunes video online like Flickr is that the video file is not recognized or corrupted. Even if you can upload a video completely, they won’t be played well because you are not possible to authorize them on the non-Apple devices or players. It is really frustrated for users who have purchased the videos in the interest of sharing iTunes videos with their friends. In my opinion, we should allow users to share their videos as long as they don’t use it for commercial. So here I will recommend a great DRM removal tool DRmare iTunes to Flickr Converter. It supports to access the original iTunes M4V videos to break the DRM copy protection and extract the videos completely. It is well known for it high performance such as lossless and fast conversion.
