Suppose you buy a movie from iTunes Store, you’ll meet some problems when trying to share the video to a non-Apple device. All you’ll probably get is an error message of “file format not supported” in the computer screen. Why? Calm down. In fact, all the annoyances are caused by a thing called DRM. It’s a special technology and policy to protect the copyright of the movie owners. As result, customers who buy those iTunes movies or TV shows will be restricted to play the videos on iTunes-compatible devices only. So if you want to watch the DRM-ed iTunes videos on any popular device or player, the most urgent thing is to break the DRM limit at the first place.
Fortunately, there are so many iTunes DRM removal software coming out every day. That’s to say you have a lot of choices. However, that could also be a problem as it’s difficult and time-consuming to pick up the most suitable one to accomplish your iTunes DRM removal needs. Some people may concern more about the output video quality, while others may care more about the performance. In order to save your time and help you make better decision on which DRM converter is best for you, we are listing the top 3 most popular iTunes DRM removal software for Mac and Windows in this review, by covering the performance, quality, compatibility, etc.
