"Can I convert M4V to WMV for playing on Windows Media Player when I am working at my office?" - Question from James online.
If you buy and download iTunes movies often, you may have already found that all kinds of iTunes videos such as movies, TV shows, music videos are having the same M4V format. As a proprietary format for Apple, it is rather similar to the MP4 format and plays perfectly on iTunes, QuickTime and Apple's devices, like iPod, iPad and iPhone, etc.
However, you are not able to play the iTunes M4V on other devices like PSP, Xbox One, Windows Phones and more. The main reason is that iTunes M4V is applied with the FairPlay DRM protection which limits it for playing on iTunes compatible devices only. Additionally even some DRM-free iTunes M4V videos, such as the music videos are not compatible with most players.
Consequently, removing DRM and converting iTunes M4V to a more widely-used format such as WMV is necessary if you want to play them freely. Here I will walk you through the steps on how to easily convert iTunes M4V to WMV on Mac.
