Online video sites, like YouTube, Vimeo, etc. makes it easy for us to share any video to our friends or anyone else. But when it comes to iTunes movies or other video files downloaded from iTunes Store, things will become more difficult as iTunes movies and TV shows are protected by Apple FairPlay DRM technology and encrypted as .M4V (known as protected MP4) that are not supported by YouTube or other online video sharing sites. So what if you want to share a iTunes movie purchase to your friends via online video sites or even email? Don't be upset. In fact, if we take a look into the video sites, we'll find out that most video sharing sites use Flash video (FLV) for their streaming media format because of its small file size, swift loading speed and common use of flash plug-in. In this case, converting iTunes M4V videos to FLV could be the workaround to take us out of the trouble as mentioned above. In the following article, we'll discuss on how to convert DRM iTunes movies from M4V to FLV format on Mac by using an easy-to-use M4V to FLV iTunes converter software.
