How to Play iTunes DRM Videos on Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus

Q: It's really good news that I can make pre-orders of Samsung Galaxy S9 today. From its February 25 launch event at MWC 2018, I was hooked on this wonderful handset due to its low-light camera, biometrics, and AR Emoji. I heard that this excellent Galaxy S9 comes with 5.8-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 2960. It's time for me to move to a new device with a bigger screen and higher resolution to play iTunes movies and TV shows. The one thing that has bothered me is, as far as I’m concerned, iTunes videos are not able to watch on Android devices for playback directly, including this newer Samsung Galaxy smartphone. So is there any method to play iTunes purchases and rentals on Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus?

Part 1. Why We Can't Play iTunes Movies and TV Shows on Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+

Beyond all doubt, Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus was one of the most attractive smartphones in 2017. But it is truth that universally acknowledged Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus have several aspects for improvement, such as ergonomic and structural problems. As a result, Samsung announced the Samsung Unpacked 2018 event on at February 25 at MWC 2018 and Samsung will officially release Galaxy S9/S9 Plus on March 16.

According to specialist reviewer DisplayMate, who quoted the display of Samsung Galaxy S9 featuring the Super AMOLED technology is "virtually indistinguishable from perfect". Besides, coming with a 5.8-inch QHD+ screen with 567 pixels per inch of Galaxy S9 and the giant 6.2-inch display for S9 Plus, S9 and S9 Plus could be the best media players for enjoying your digital video entertainment.

However, you should pay attention for this point that Galaxy S9/S9+ is not fully compatible with videos purchased and rented from iTunes Store directly. The key reasons why S9/S9 Plus can't support iTunes videos are different formats and DRM copyright protection. With the purpose of avoiding unauthorized sharing, Apple has encrypted iTunes digital files with its FairPlay DRM technology, which prevents iTunes users from playing movies and videos anywhere but for Apple ecosystem, even they have purchased iTunes movies legally. What’s more, Apple develops and uses M4V container format to encode video files in its iTunes store. Even though M4V format is very similar to the MP4 format, it can't be recognized by S9 and S9 Plus directly.

So in order to make iTunes DRM M4V movies and TV shows playable on Galaxy S9/S9+, you need to equip with a third-party iTunes DRM M4V converter software, which can remove DRM protection and convert iTunes M4V to Galaxy compatible format, like MP4.
