Due to Apple products' increasing popularity, more and more people may choose to purchase or rent movies, music videos, or episodes from iTunes Store. However, most of these videos are with H.264 code and can't be enjoyed on non-Apple devices or played on computers without being authorized. That is to say, they are DRM-protected. To enjoy them more freely, you may need a M4V decoder to remove DRM protection from iTunes purchased M4V files.
