It is really upset that you fail to play your purchased iTunes movies or TV shows on some non-Apple devices like Samsung Galaxy S8, Huawei Mate 9, PSP, PS3, and so on. Besides, a rental one even has time limitation that you have to finish watching the movies within 24 hours once you start it. These have resulted from FairPlay, a Digital Rights Management(DRM) technology developed by Apple Inc. To break this restriction, you have several methods to keep the videos locally, such as recording the videos by yourself or removing DRM from the protected files.

[Comparison] Converting Way VS Recording Way: With compared to these 2 ways, the first way will be the best for converting iTunes TV shows to the lossless one. When using the recording way, image distortion will do damage to the iTunes TV shows which you can expect. And there might consist of noise and some rest parts of the TV shows you are unwilling to watch.

Is this program easy to grasp?

Although this method is also useful for keeping the DRM-protected iTunes movies or TV shows locally, it will be more time-consuming. Besides, the quality of the videos would be weakened. As a result, a TuneFab M4V Converter would be a better choice.
