You may be in trouble when you want to burn iTunes movies to DVD disc. That's right, all music videos, TV shows, movies, etc. from the iTunes store are encoded in M4V format. Apple uses a copyright protection called DRM for its digital content. iTunes videos are protected by Apple’s FairPlay DRM policy, which allows iTunes M4V videos to be played only on Apple devices. The best way to save iTunes rentals and purchases is to keep these video files to a computer disk, but it is obviously a little troublesome to carry this hardware device with you. Therefore, it seems to be a good alternative to convert iTunes M4V movies to VOB format and then burn them to DVD disc.
What is VOB? VOB (Video Object) is actually the most commonly used video format in DVD discs. Generally, VOB contains video, audio, subtitles and DVD menus together in a stream form. It is compatible with MPlayer, VLC media player, GOM player, Media Player Classic and more platform-specific players like ALLPlayer. After converting iTunes movies to VOB, you can easily burn them to DVD disc for feature use. If you want to revisit these wonderful movies one day, you only need to insert the disc into the computer. In addition, they may also be away from viruses or server crashes.
If you have the same idea, iTunes does not provide a way to directly convert DRM-ed movies to VOB, please refer to the solution provided in this article. This guide is divided into two parts, Part 1 is to convert protected M4V movies to MP4. Once the task is completed, you can watch iTunes movies on almost all media players and any HD devices as they want. Part 2 is to convert MP4 to DVD VOB File (MPEG-2 PS format) and transfer them to wherever you want.
