Putting protected content on a DVD?

I have some video I purchased from iTunes in an .m4v format that I'd like to put on a dvd. iDVD says that it doesn't know the format and I have to use iMovie to import the file to a recogniseable type. iMovie doesn't know what to do with it either; I get an error message saying it can't be parsed. I tried Streamclip, it doesn't know the file type. I tried ffmpeg, and when I drop the m4v file in, it says that it is a mov file, and when I press 'encode' I get the ready ding immediately, and no file saved in the path I specify. Any help?

Can't do it. The DRM on the video doesn't allow for it. Since pretty much every App that can convert or Rip it on the Mac relies on Quicktime, and Quicktime knows it is DRM'd, it will not work. iTMS does not allow for the burning of Video to DVD like it doers Music to CDs.

Well ****.

I'd ask that over at iLounge and see what they say.

When you purchase vids from iTunes, you accept the TOS. Read it.

Just so you know, this sort of activity is frowned upon and generally not discussed in these forums. If you're looking to circumnavigate the TOS from iTMS, this is not really the place to ask, it might get you banned.

We don't allow discussion of illegal activity. I strongly suggest reading the forum rules before you post again.
