To enjoy the iTunes in an extensive way, for example, you may want to enjoy the iTunes movies with your family or friends on a regular DVD player or widescreen TV; you need to convert iTunes video to MPEG or other formats that is supported by your DVD burning software. The problem is that movies, music or TV show you bought from iTunes is DRM protected and therefore you cannot convert them to regular video and get them burned onto DVD without removing the DRM. So the most frustrating answer is that you just cannot achieve it even with outstanding DVD burning applications like Roxio and Nero. No need to curse the DRM, they are justified to do so.

This does not mean you cannot but give up, you need to find video converters or application they may not call it video converter, to remove DRM from iTunes, M4v, M4p, MP4 files legally by converting iTunes to unprotected WMV formats firstly, and then burn resulting file to DVD.

So the only but primary problem that prevent from enjoying iTunes video with regular DVD player or widescreen TV is the DRM. So the problem is simplified, remove the DRM from the iTunes Videos.

There are a couple of ways to remove the DRM, both legal and illegal.

There are programs that can produce un-encoded files without any restrictions. For example, FairUse4WM program can do the job for you but it works only with audio format and not video. It is the same case with iTunes media files. It cannot help you with the video only the music. What is worse, this is illegal according to the federal law. I myself mention this approach here just for your information rather than information.

You can achieve something without doing evil. There are legal ways to remove the DRM. As we all know, Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes exceptions for recording from analog outputs. And thus you can take advantage of this so-called analog loop-hole to record the playback of your DRM files.

And there are programs to remove the DRM, for example, Tune Bite and Analog whole. The former converts audio and video files from formats like WMA, M4A, M4P, AA, M4B, WMV and M4V and it works on the principle of interception of the output from Windows Media or iTunes player, while the latter clean up your DRM protection from music files. The Major difference is that Tunebite is paid program and the Analog Whole is totally free.

These legal ways have a defect; the quality of the video would be significantly degraded.
After the DRM is removed, the following work is easy for your. All you need is a Video converter and DVD Burning Software. You must convert video to MPEG format that is supported by DVD Burners. And then burn them onto your DVD disk.
