Enjoy protected iTunes video file (M4V) on any portable devices, not only on iPod and iPhone

Enjoy protected iTunes video file (M4V) on any portable devices, not only on iPod and iPhone “I purchased movies on iTunes, but they can not be played on my Creative Zen because of the protected M4V format which only works on iPod and PlayStation Portable developed by Apple. How can I enjoy the iTunes movies on my Zen player?” Have you got the same? In order to solve the problem, I searched some useful information from online, and here I will share it with you. First, we should know that M4V files are iTunes video files used for TV episodes, movies and music videos in iTunes Store. And M4V files are similar to MP4 files, both of which are MP4 files. The difference is that M4V files are opened with iTunes player by default while MP4 files are opened with QuickTime player by default. The copyright of M4V files may be protected by using Apple’s FairPlay DRM copyright protection. So, to play a protected M4V file the computer needs to be authorized (using iTunes) with the account that was used to purchase the video. However, unprotected M4V files may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the files extension from “.m4v” to “.mp4”. If you just own some other mp3 or mp4 player such as Zen, iRiver, Zune and so on but iPod or iPhone, is it possible to enjoy protected iTunes videos (M4V) on those mp3 or mp4 players?
