How to Convert DRM Protected M4V Videos to MOV Format

MOV and M4V are both video container formats developed by Apple Inc. Generally speaking, MOV is a default format for QuickTime and it supports multiple different codecs while M4V is mainly for iTunes and has the H.264 video codec. Besides this, another biggest difference is that MOV doesn't have DRM protection but most iTunes M4V are FairPlay DRM protected. Under this digital restriction, users are only allowed to play the iTunes movies on up to 5 Apple devices like Mac computers or IOS mobile devices.

So if you want to play iTunes videos on more than 5 Apple devices, you can remove DRM from iTunes videos and convert M4V to MOV format.
