Sync Amazon Videos/Movies to iTunes for iPhone 5S/5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPod 5...

Amazon Store offers instant streaming on the Kindle Fire, as well as PC, Mac, Roku, and hundreds of TVs and Blu-ray players. All of your videos are stored in Your Video Library, so you can access them anywhere you go. Good news is that Amazon Instant Video is now playing on your iPad. Videos you've purchased or rented are already available on your iPad. However, you can not transfer Amazon Videos to iTunes for synchronizing with more iOS devices like iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPod 5, etc. The problem is that video files purchased from Amazon Instant Video are usually DRM-protected WMV (Windows Media Video) files. To sync Aamzon videos to iTunes, you may have to fix two things:

  1. Since DRM limited your use on iTunes, so you'll need to strip DRM from Amazon Videos so as to play them on more non-authorized devices.
  2. WMV is a not an iTunes-supported format. You'll need to convert it to either .mov, .mp4, or .m4v that is supported by iTunes.

To achieve your goal smoothly, below is simple tutorial for you, guaranteed to transfer Amazon Instant Videos to iTunes for playback smoothly.
  
How to Get Rid of DRM restriction and Convert Amazon WMV videos to iTunes friendly format?

The quick workaround is to use the easy-to-use yet intuitive ChewTune app(or ChewTube for Mac) which lets you quickly remove DRM protection and convert Amazon Videos to iTunes-compatible formats – as well as AVI, MKV, FLV, etc. Just download it and follow the step-by-step guide to upload Amazon Videos to iTunes.

Note: Before the process, please make sure you have the Amazon Instant videos downloaded onto your computer before importing. If you don't know the detailed process of purchasing and downloading Amazon Instant Videos, please refer to how to get Amazon Videos downloaded with Amazon Unbox Player.
