In this article, you'll learn how to sync and transfer music, videos and movies from iTunes to Nokia Lumia 920 for enjoyment.

iTunes Store provides a convenient way to get the latest songs, videos, movies, TV shows, etc. Most of the time, you can sync the music, including iTunes public content, to your Nokia Lumia 920 with the Zune Desktop application. However, the video files purchased from iTunes Store are locked by Apple's DRM protection and cannot play on non-Apple products. How if you get the Lumia 920 and want to play iTunes movies on your Nokia Lumia 920?

In order to view iTunes m4v movies on Nokia Lumia 920, there are two things you need to do: first, remove DRM protection from iTunes movies; second, convert iTunes M4V to Lumia 920 compatible video formats like MP4. So what you need is an all-in-one DRM removal and video converter. The DRM Removal app entitled ChewTune is just the right tool to help you make purchased iTunes video playable on Nokia Lumia 920 effortlessly. With it, you can fast strip iTunes DRM copy protection and encode/re-encode DRM-protected iTunes videos to Nokia Lumia 920 supported DRM-free MP4 files. Meanwhile the playback of the converted videos is as decent as possible as original. Now download the program and follow the steps below to convert iTunes video to Nokia Lumia 920 effectively.

How to Convert iTunes movies to Nokia Lumia 920

The quick start guide below uses ChewTune Windows screenshots. The way to encoding iTunes M4V to Lumia 920 on Mac is almost the same. Just make sure you get the right version according to your computer operating system.

1. Add iTunes purchased videos

Launch the DRM removal and click the "Add" button or drag and drop to add the iTunes movies you want to play on Nokia Lumia 920 to the program. Besides, you can also add iTunes M4P music files and video/audio bought from Amazon, BBC iPlayer, Blu-ray/DVD Digital Copies, etc. for batch converting.

2. Specify output profile

Choose MP4 as the output format. Click "Format" bar, you can easily find the optimized videos for Nokia Lumia 900 under Nokia > Nokia Lumia 900 MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4). The output videos could also fit on the Nokia Lumia 920 perfectly.

If you like, you can also click "Settings" to change the video resolution, bit rate, frame rate, etc. For watching videos on the 4.5-inch screen, 720p with 1500kbps is just all right. Keep in mind that the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa.

Refer to the profile settings for Lumia 920 below:

Remove DRM from iTunes M4V and Sync iTunes library to Surface RT and Pro

This article will show you how to get music, movies or TV-shows purchased from iTunes to Microsoft Surface RT for smoothly playing.

Q: I just bought a new Surface tablet and I am wondering if I could play music files I purchased on iTunes on my Surface RT? I have searched around the internet but I haven't got a specific answer to this question. Besides, the movies and TV-shows I have purchased on iTunes will be playable on my Surface RT?

A: Before answering your question, keep in mind that the Windows RT based Surface tablet can not play any iTunes purchases with Apple Digital Rights Management (FairPlay DRM). However, all iTunes songs (at least in the US) will be DRM-free in steps since April 7, 2009. From my experience, if the song isn't copy protected it should play. For the little copyrighted iTunes songs, in .m4p format, you can upgrade these songs to DRM-free files for US$0.30/song or use DRM removal software to strip DRM from them free of charge.

For iTunes videos, if they are video podcasts from iTunes, you can play them on your Surface RT without any problem. But if they are Movies, TV-shows or Music videos which you purchased directly through iTunes store, they are all with DRM protection. DRM can not stop you transferring iTunes video purchases to Surface RT, but the videos will say "this file is not supported" or "this video can't be played" when you play these iTunes movies/TV shows on the Surface RT tablet.

In order to play iTunes video files on Microsoft Surface RT, you have to remove DRM from iTunes movies and convert iTunes M4V files to Surface RT compatible video formats(MP4 with H.264 video codec is highly recommended).

If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. For watching videos on the Windows RT based Surface Tablet, 720p with 1500~2500kbps is just all right. I found that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.

Step 3: After above steps, just click "Convert" to start removing iTunes DRM protection and converting iTunes M4V to Microsoft Surface RT MP4 videos.

Once the process completes, download and transfer the DRM-free iTunes videos to your Surface RT Tablet via USB cable. Then you are free to enjoy and watch iTunes movies on Microsoft Surface RT as you like.
