How to Play iTunes Videos with VLC Media Player

Powerful and practical video playback features, excellent and smooth user experience are the reasons why VLC is considered to be the best media player, and its huge number of users and people's consistent praises also confirm this. However, even if it is such a "universal" media player, it also encounters problems that cannot be solved. In the face of iTunes' encrypted M4V files, the "king" of media players was also convinced. Dear readers, in this article, we are going to find out the best solution to help users to play iTunes M4V videos with VLC media player.

What Happens to VLC Media Player and iTunes M4V Videos

VLC media player has the capability to play almost all types of files that people have. It is thus a universal media player which plays both audio and video file types. There are no other media players which can do that as well as VLC media player does, most importantly, it is completely available for free download.

The origin of the problem is the encrypted M4V file. Why do we need to emphasize encrypted M4V files here? Because M4V files are actually divided into encrypted and unencrypted, VLC media player can play unencrypted M4V files, but cannot play encrypted ones. Let's take a look at iTunes movies, TV shows or music videos, most of them are in encrypted M4V format, it is a limitation that Apple added to prevent users to watch these M4V videos with other media players but not iTunes. Here comes with problems that although VLC media player is powerful and able to play all the plain files like MP4, WMV, FLV, etc., it is only a media player but not a decryption tool.

So, what do we do to solve this problem? To enjoy our favorite iTunes movies, TV shows and music videos with VLC media player, we need a professional M4V converter, which can help us convert encrypted M4V videos to plain MP4 files. And of course, this converter must have a powerful M4V decryption function as well. Here we highly recommend that you use TuneKeep M4V Converter to solve the problem.
