How to make iTunes movies playable on ASUS Fonepad 7?

Question:

"Hello, I want to convert M4V files on my iTunes so i can transfer them to my Asus Fonepad 7 which I just got today as birthday gift. Any program can achieve this task? "

“I have a movie that I bought on iTunes back in 2010. How do I put it on my Fonepad (7 inch)? The format won't work, and iTunes won't allow me to convert it?”

Answer:

“iTunes movies are to be used only on Apple devices officially. You can't watch iTunes movies on Android tablets, without removing the DRM protection. And if you want to watch them in Fonepad 7, there’s another work you need to do: converting to another format with proper video size. In your case, MP4 is most widely used.”

As we know, M4V videos purchased from iTunes store are protected by Apple’s DRM and can’t be transferred or played on non-Apple products. Well, in the case above, Asus Fonepad 7 is no exception. Moreover, as the answer mentioned, M4V is not a format that Fonepad 7 appreciates.

So if you really want to watch iTunes DRM video on Asus Fonepad 7, you need to go through two steps: 1. Remove the DRM protection, 2. Convert M4V to Fonepad supported video format: MP4.

How to convert videos to Android Tablet or Phone friendly formats 

Step 1: Load video files.

Download the best Android Video Converter Ultimate.

Then install and run it, click "Add video" or "Add from folder" tab to load your video files.

Step 2: Click format menu to choose output format for your Android tablet or smartphone.

Most Android devices support below video and audio formats:

Video Codec: H.264
If there're universal codecs for Android devices, they must be H.264, MPEG-4 and H.263. Among them, H.264 is regarded as the most advanced codec and is widely used accepted.

Audio Codec: AAC/MP3
Every smartphone plays AAC and MP3 audio, but I'll suggest you choose AAC for better audio quality.

Video Format: MP4
MP4 is recommended because it is a most widely accepted video format for portable devices. Indeed, MKV and AVI video are OK for most Android tablets and phones, but MP4 can not only be transferred to Android handsets, but also be put onto iPad, iPod Touch, PSP and over majority of portable media players.

Pavtube software comes with optimal format presets for Android devices developed by different brands, so that you can select a target format for your Android device directly in an easy way.

Step 3: Click "Convert" button to start 1080p/720p video and movie to Android conversion. When finished, click "Open" button to get the generated video files for playing with your Android tablets or phones.  

Additional Tips

Android tablets only recognize SD cards formatted in FAT 32, this limits a single file size less than 4GB. If you worry about getting a big video file larger than 4GB, you can use split feature in Pavtube software to split a large 1080p/720p file into multiple chunks under 4GB. Learn to split a large video file into several small files under 4GB for Android device.
