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.

It can remove the DRM protection from iTunes downloaded video, and transfer it to various video formats including MP4 profiles for Fonepad 7.
