However, just like other Android devices or accessories, they are just not compatible with iTunes app and you won't be play itunes videos from them. But please don't worry, there is an available solution though. Please just follow me here, I will show you how to fix it step by step.

Part 1. Best Way to Cast iTunes Videos with Chromecast Ultra

For common videos such as MP4, MPEG, MKV etc. you just need to drag them to the Chrome browser to start to stream to the TV which is connected to the same network. But it is not the case for iTunes videos. Why? Actually this is all because of the iTunes digital rights management. Apple wants to keep the exclusiveness of the DRM videos by executing the DRM safeguard policy. It is not a surprise that you will get the error message that the file is not supported or it is corrupted when you try to cast an iTunes DRM M4V video on Chromecast ultra.
To solve the problem, you can use a DRM decrypter tool to help you erase the annoying DRM protection from the iTunes videos first. It is not difficult at all. Here I will recommend the leading DRM Converter DRmare M4V to Chromecast Ultra Converter. It can only only break the DRM from your purchased and rental iTunes movies and TV shows but also encode them to a new compatible format as you want.

Part 2. Steps to Strip DRM from iTunes DRM-ed Movies

Now let me demonstrate for you on how to use DRmare M4V Converter to strip DRM from iTunes M4V movies before mirroring the video on Chromecast Ultra. This software is pretty user friendly. It takes only 3 steps to do that.

Step 1Add iTunes M4V files to DRmare

Launch DRmare iTunes to Chromecast Converter, you will see the simple and sleek interface. You can click 'Add Files' icon from the bottom left, then it will pop up the media file browser and you can select the iTunes M4V media files which you want to remove the DRM from. This software supports bulk conversion so you can import multiple iTunes videos at a time.

Step 2Customize videos for Chromecast Ultra

To Cast iTunes movies and TV Shows to Chromecast Ultra, you are recommended to select the output format as "Lossless MP4" from the profile list. This format not only has the widest compatibility but also can retain the lossless output quality. You can keep the multiple language subtitles, 5.1 Dolby AC3 audio track and you can do the settings for the bit rate, frame rate, codec and so on.

Part 3. Sync Common M4V Movies to TV via Chromecast Ultra

Well done! You have already erased DRM from iTunes movies. Now you can start to cast them to your TVs. As we mentioned before, you can cast videos from Chrome browser. Besides that, you can also cast from a mobile phone with the Chromecast app.

There are two general ways to do that. You can either cast iTunes videos through the Chromecast or the Mobile Phone. Since the two ways are similar, I will take either one such as the Chrome Browser for example.

1. Insert the Chromecast Ultra to your TV HDMI space and make sure the device and the Chromecast are connected to the same network. 
2. Open Chrome browser on your computer, then drag and drop to play the iTunes videos on the Chrome. 
3. Click 'Cast' menu from Chrome and then choose the destination device to connect. When it is done, the iTunes video will be casted to the TV.
