How to Convert DRM M4V to Play on VLC Player
The Most Popular Open Source Media Player - VLC Player
VLC player, the most popular media player which is an open source player compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Unix. It supports tons of media formats and can play everything including files, discs, webcams, devices and streams.
However, we always get some video or audio files which are protected by the DRM technology, and they are limited to play with other players, like movies we purchased or rented from iTunes movie store. After we purchased or rented a movie from iTunes movie store, we would find that all the M4V movie are protected by Apple'FairPlay and it can be played with iTunes player or Apple devices only. But to me, I prefer to use VLC player as my default media player on my computer. So if I want to play the iTunes M4V movie with VLC player, I have to bypass the DRM at first.
