Transfer Media Files from iTunes to Nokia Lumia 730/735/830

So you must be too eager to wait for those camera phones, right? But if you are a movie lover who has tons of movies, TV shows and other media files purchased from iTunes and would like to watch those iTunes movies on Nokia Lumia 730, Lumia 735 or Lumia 830, you'd better take a look at the following story before rush to buy the phone.

"I got a new Nokia Lumia 1020 recently. But I can't sync iTunes to Lumia 1020 normally. The movies, TV shows and other media files purchased from iTunes just don't show up in the Lumia 1020 movie list. Does this have to do with DRM? Or am I doing something wrong? How could I transfer media files, especially the movies from iTunes to Lumia with ease?"

As you can see, Lumia phones don't support media files like iTunes movies for playback on the devices. So to Lumia 730, Lumia 735 or Lumia 830.
