Basically, Windows Phone 8 currently doesn't support videos that use digital rights management (DRM). Today the AAC songs sold by iTunes are no longer protected AAC as they used to, and you can freely transfer them to HTC window Phone 8X for playback. But the movies and TV shows are still protected by DRM and thus not compatible with Music+Video player or Xbox Video. In that case you’ll need an iTunes video converter and turn the movies into free videos before you can watch them on HTC window Phone 8X. Don't worry about the ripped videos that came into iTunes Movies category, you ripped movies in MP4/M4V format work with HTC window Phone 8X just fine. The guide below shows you how to get around with the iTunes movies protections.
