Part 1. Most Convenient Way to Enjoy iTunes Movies on RealPlayer

As we know, iTunes is also in M4V format. You maybe puzzled why iTunes M4V videos are not playable considering that M4V format is on the RealPlayer support list.

But one thing you need to know about is that iTunes purchased and rental M4V movies or TV shows are encrypted with DRM (Digital Rights Management) copyright protection. Under this condition, the iTunes movie episodes are only accessible within Apple's ecosystem. Nowadays the official way to enjoy iTunes videos so far is by iTunes or QuickTime. This makes it really hard for some users to enjoy iTunes videos.

If you'd rather not use iTunes player or Quicktime, there is another better solution by breaking the DRM protection. How? Luckily it is not a difficult job. You can simply get a DRM Media Converter such as the DRmare iTunes M4V to RealPlayer Converter to convert the iTunes videos. Then the DRM will be removed automatically.
