• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hey, I legally downloaded a movie from iTunes. But all I really want to do is share the file with Rivet so that I can watch it on my xbox 360 in the other room. However, I guess it is not liking the m4v file? Is there any inexpensive way to convert that to some other format so that my xbox gets along with it?

Its been a while since I checked into this but those movies are pretty heavily copy protected. Thats the only way the studios would agree I think.

As far as I am aware, no one has come out with anything that will remove the DRM from iTunes movies/tv shows.
