'I have a lot of M4V videos from iTunes but I can't play them on VLC in Ubuntu. Is there any options to play M4V videos on Ubuntu?'
Transfer pictures to pc.
For Ubuntu users, an annoying question is that sometime you might fail to play the videos in M4V format on Ubuntu devices, especially the people who switch from Mac or Windows to Ubuntu. Some of Windows and Mac users are used to purchasing movies, TV shows and music videos from iTunes Store. When they turn to Ubuntu, they would like to transfer these iTunes M4V videos to Ubuntu for enjoying in future. However, you will find you can't open these M4V videos on Ubuntu, no matter via VLC, Miro or SMPlayer. Even you try to rename the file extension from M4V to MP4, it still not work.
WHY?
To figure out this question, you should know that there are two kinds of M4V files generally: one is DRM protected and the other is DRM free. Usually, you can open the unprotected M4V videos on Ubuntu with VLC easily. Or you can change the file extension to MP4 thus to play on some non-supported player. But DRM-ed M4V videos are a different story. In order to prevent piracy, iTunes purchases and rentals are encrypted with Apple's FairPlay DRM protection. Due to the DRM, you are only allowed to watch the M4V videos on up to 5 Apple devices with authorization. Unfortunately, iTunes cannot be installed on Ubuntu directly so it seems imposable to play M4V movies on Ubuntu devices.
