What are VLC Player Video Formats?

Even though I like to buy and rent movies/TV shows in iTunes store, I really don't like the iTunes media player. It's not easy to use and have many limitations on media formats. Compare to iTunes Media Player, I prefer to use VLC media player in my daily digital life.

VLC media player is the most popular media player all over the world. It's open source and free. VLC media player is a cross-platform player which is powerful enough to play any video or audio files. Here below is the list of supported media and supported formats for VLC on Mac OS X.

People Can't Play iTunes Purchased/Rental Movies and TV Shows With VLC Player?

Yes. Generally speaking, we can't play the iTunes purchased or rented videos with VLC media player. Despite the M4V format is not listed in the above supported formats, the iTunes DRM attached in the iTunes videos allows us to play the iTunes movies/TV shows with Apple products only, like iTunes, iPhone, iPod, iPad and Apple TV etc. For people who like me don't like iTunes, how can we play our movies with VLC player?

Thanks to some smart software engineers, they know us, and develop some iTunes DRM removal software to fulfill our requirements, like TunesKit DRM Removal software. With TunesKit application, we can easily get rid off iTunes DRM and liberate all our iTunes videos.
