Movie studios and video producers have an army of lawyers and they are aggresively pursuing copyright infringers. But don't assume that anyone wanting to convert an iTunes M4V video to some other DRM-free format has criminal intent. Here are some valid reasons for wanting to free your videos from iTunes:


  • To play videos on operating systems where iTunes does not exist, such as Linux.
  • To use a non-Apple portable video player to play your videos.
  • To watch your videos in the car, or the big screen in your living room
  • To loan the video to a friend, just like you'd do with a book, record or CD
