Dave! I bought and watched a movie while at my Mom’s place and now realize I can’t save a copy of it for my Windows system or Android phone. I don’t like iTunes, am I out of luck?

TunesKit DRM removal for iTunes. For this tutorial, you’ll need a few prerequisites. First, you’ll need iTunes and DRM protected video. Then, you’ll need TuneKit for Windows to convert M4V files with DRM to unprotected copies.

Generally speaking, well, yeah, you’re out of luck. Just like many other video services, Apple has what’s called a digital rights management (DRM) system in place to ensure that you don’t watch iTunes movies without using the iTunes program and that you don’t share your downloaded movies (or TV shows) with your friends.

Problem is, it kind of stinks. I mean, if you’re like me, you probably paid $14.99 plus tax for the movie download, and now it turns out to be considerably less flexible than an old-school DVD you picked up at Walmart or Target? Doesn’t feel very 21st Century to me.

Fortunately there are third party apps that let you basically strip off the DRM so that you can turn an M4V video file into an MP4 video file that is infinitely more portable, flexible and watchable on just about anything, from your Kindle to your Android phone, media server to smartTV. And, yes, even Windows and MacOS X systems.

And some of these tools are super easy to work with, as I’ll demonstrate with the slick Mac program DRMare M4V Converter.

Note: You can use this to crack the DRM and then distribute video content to your friends and family, but I discourage this use. Ensuring that you can watch a movie across whatever devices and platforms you have is one thing, but if your friends really want to also watch the film, well, they should buy it too. That’s just fair for the creators and in alignment with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) too.

Let’s get into it, because while it’s slow, the process is surprisingly easy.

I’ll start with a couple of my favorite movies in iTunes:

I actually haven’t watched the Quentin Tarantino film Inglorious Basterds in a long time, so let me use the DRMare M4V Converter tool to convert it from an iTunes-locked M4V movie format into the more generic MP4.

Itunes Video Drm Removal

That’s most easily done by launching the program, then using the Finder to navigate to your Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Movies, then either going into the folder for the specific movie (iTunes keeps each movie in its own folder) or dragging the folder itself onto the program window:

That’s about it. The program automatically scans the movie file, figures out how long the movie is and various other data, then shows it as one of the possible conversions, ready to go:

Did you see how long the movie is? 2:32:52. That’s really long, so it’s going to take a long time to convert and the resultant file is going to be pretty darn big! Before you convert it, however, click on the Output option on the lower portion to select your preferred destination file, then on the Format option to decide which format you want to use.

There are a lot:

If you’re converting the movie for a specific device, I strongly suggest that you click on Devices and find it; the company’s already figured out optimal frame rate and dimensions for hundreds of different devices, ranging from iPhones to Samsung devices to your Windows tablet.

Got the format you want? Then click “OK” and back in the main window click on the circle arrows button on the lower right. It’ll start the conversion process:

Now is an excellent time to go get a cup of tea or head over the gym for a workout. It’s going to take a while. In fact, the company told me that the newer the computer, the slower it runs, oddly enough, and on my brand new MacBook Pro it took over two hours to convert the film. The Windows version of the program is supposed to also be considerably faster, but with a task like this I just queue everything I want up, click “go” and then go to bed. In the morning they’re all done, ready to watch.

And, finally, so is Inglorious Basterds, as I demonstrate by watching it within Windows 10, but not within the iTunes program:

That’s all there is to the task. Easy enough. And as for me? I want to go and watch the movie, so I’ll just hope this all worked for you and showed you how to keep that movie you bought through iTunes at your Mom’s house!

You bought a TV show or movie on iTunes. You want to watch it on your Android phone, Plex media server, or basically anything not made by Apple. Why won’t it work?

All iTunes video purchases are locked down by Fairplay, Apple’s digital rights management (DRM) scheme. This does nothing to prevent piracy, but sure makes life annoying for people willing to pay for movies and TV shows. So what is a non-pirate who wants to watch things supposed to do?

If you want to watch your videos on a non-Apple device, you’ll need to strip the video of its DRM. We’ve discovered two methods for doing just that, both of which strip the DRM with no loss in video quality:

• Requiem is free, but requires an ancient version of iTunes in order to work.
• Tuneskit isn’t free, but is a lot easier to use, and works with the latest version of iTunes as of this writing.

We’re going to go over both methods; you can decide which works better for you. We’ll be using Windows for these tutorials, though Tuneskit also offers a Mac version. Sadly, Requiem won’t work easily on a Mac—System Identity Protection makes downgrading iTunes nearly impossible. We recommend running Requiem in a virtual machine anyway, though, so you could use it on a Mac through a Windows installation in VirtualBox.

Remove DRM the Easy Way: Tuneskit

By far, the easiest way to convert your videos is with Tuneskit. It works on Windows and macOS, is regularly updated to work with the latest version of iTunes, and is lossless. (Tuneskit has a demo that allows you to convert five minutes of video, if you want to test it first.)

Fire up iTunes and make sure any videos you want to convert are currently downloaded, and authorized to play on your computer.

Then, launch Tuneskit. Click “Add Files” to get started.

Tuneskit will scan your iTunes library; pick which videos you want to strip the DRM from.

They will be added to your list. Hit “Convert” and the conversion process will begin.

Conversion may take a while, depending on your processor.

When the process is done, click the “Converted” button to browse your converted media.

Your original iTunes files are untouched, and your converted files are found in a separate folder.

Click the magnifying glass to view your files in Windows Explorer.

To ensure the process worked, try playing the videos in a non-iTunes video player. You should find that they work swimmingly.

Congratulations! You’ve removed the DRM from your iTunes video, and can now watch it wherever you like.

There is one small thing to note: Tuneskit’s DRM stripping is lossless for video and 5.1 audio, which means you won’t lose any quality. However, if your video comes with an stereo AAC track too—or only comes with an stereo AAC track—Tuneskit does convert that audio track, from what we can tell, which will result in a small (unnoticeable to most) loss in audio quality. So if you really care about audio quality, make sure you’re using the 5.1 Dolby Digital track, not the 2-channel AAC track—or use the Requiem method below for stereo tracks.

The Free and Complicated Way: Requiem

Requiem is a free, Java-based application capable of removing Fairplay DRM from iTunes videos. The catch: it hasn’t been maintained for a while, and only works with iTunes 10.7, which was released back in 2012.

There are two approaches you can take to set up iTunes 10.7:

• You can completely uninstall iTunes from your computer, then install the ancient iTunes 10.7. If you’ve spent a lot of time tweaking your iTunes setup, and don’t want to lose anything, this approach is not recommended. It’s also a very bad idea if you’re an iPhone or iPad user, because older versions of iTunes cannot sync with newer versions of iOS.
• You can install iTunes 10.7 on a computer that you don’t normally use iTunes on, or set up a virtual machine specifically for stripping DRM from videos. Starting clean means you’ll need to re-download and authorize any videos you want to convert, but it prevents you from messing up an active iTunes installation.

For simplicity, we recommend you set up iTunes 10.7 on a machine that you otherwise don’t use iTunes on, virtual or otherwise. There’s just a lot less than can go wrong. If that’s what you’re doing, feel free to skip step one below.

Step One: Completely Uninstall Newer Versions of iTunes (If Necessary)

If you’re planning on downgrading an active installation of iTunes, we’ve got some work to do. On Windows, head to the Control Panel > Programs and Features, then uninstall everything made by “Apple Inc.”—including iTunes, Bonjour, and Apple Software Update. Make sure that nothing related to Apple remains on the computer.

There’s a chance that, after removing everything, installation of the old iTunes won’t work. We didn’t have this problem in our tests, but your mileage may vary. Software like Revo Uninstaller might be helpful if you have problems.

Step Two: Install iTunes 10.7 and Make Sure Your Videos Are Authorized

Head to the iTunes 10.7 download page. Download the run the executable to install iTunes. Make sure you disable automatic updates.

Then, bathe in nostalgia for the very recent past as the iPhones and iPads of yesteryear are promoted in the installation slideshow.

When the installation is complete you’ll notice just how much iTunes has changed in five years. Head to the store and download all the videos you want to convert. (You can’t transfer them from an existing system—you’ll need to re-download the videos on iTunes 10.7 for this to work.)

When the downloads are complete, ensure that your videos actually play in iTunes. You may need to authorize your computer, and in some cases re-download entire videos.

Step Three: Install the Java Runtime Environment (if Necessary)

Requiem requires the Java Runtime environment in order to run, so head to the Java download page and download the JRE installer.

Run the executable to install Java.

Now that Java is installed we can finally run Requiem.

Step Four: Run Requiem

Close iTunes, assuming all of your downloads are complete. Download Requiem, if you haven’t already. (If you get redirected to an “Anti Leech” page, try right-clicking on the download link and pasting it in the address bar.) The program comes in a ZIP file and is portable, so open it and extract the executable wherever you like.

Quick note: f you want to keep subtitles and other metadata, you’re going to need to run mkvtoolnix and CCExtractor before launching Requiem.

Run Requiem will scan your iTunes directory for any protected files, then remove the protections.

If you get any errors, make sure you’ve authorized iTunes and that the videos are playable.

When the process is done, Requiem will delete the protected versions of your videos and replace them with entirely unprotected versions.

Head to your media folder in Windows Explorer…

…and make sure the videos are working by opening them with something other than iTunes.

Congratulations! You’ve removed the DRM from your video, and can now play it with whatever media player you damn well please. Requiem’s video and audio conversion are completely lossless, so there won’t be any loss in quality—no matter which audio track you’re using.

If you can’t tell, Tuneskit is by far the easier method, especially if you have a lot of files to strip. There are just so many frustrating things that can go wrong with the free method. But if you’re really against spending the money, Requiem can work in a pinch…as long as you’re willing to put up with the hassle.
