Note: For Windows users, just follow the detailed guide to finish your work about converting iTunes movies to Surface Tablet. For Mac users, you can get the iTunes m4v Converter for Mac to finish your work on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Mac OS X Lion etc.
Step 1. Free download and run the excellent iTunes to Surface Converter and import your iTunes files (movies or TV shows) to the program.
Step 2. Choose the output video format and output folder. Click "Format" bar and move mouse to "Windows" column, you can easily find the profile of "Microsoft Surface Windows RT H.264 Video (*.mp4)". The output videos could fit on Surface RT or Pro perfectly. If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish.
P.S. For watching videos on the Surface Tablet, 720p with 1500~2500kbps is just all right. I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss.
