Convert iTunes .m4v to .mp4

How can I convert movies and TV shows downloaded from iTunes from m4v to mp4?? Or can I even do that given they are copy protected? I can't even made a still screen cap from any of my iTunes movie or TV show purchases.

Normally it does suffice to rename from .m4v to .mp4, but since that content is copy protected, it will not work anyway, thus no screenshooting and so on.

What does that accomplish? Does it remove DRM? If not, another transcoding process is hardly necessary, as .m4v and .mp4 files are almost entirely the same (same video and audio codecs).

From what I saw on the Handbrake site it will not (or no longer) remove DRM as is noted on the "details" page of their site.

Use Requiem - at least, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay , it's capable of breaking the DRM. (Haven't tested it myself so I'm not sure.)

Could I install iTunes 9 on a different user on the same Mac? Worst case scenario is that I'll have to find the episode online and download it "illegally".

I know it， I often download m4v movies from itunes by ipad, m4v movies is affected by DRM protected, if you want to convert m4v to mp4 format you must download a m4v converter, it can crack DRM, why not Google search one? For example :https://www.google.com/#hl=en&newwin...w=1440&bih=716 it can help you .Such as I'm already very skilled conversion m4v format, and appreciate them on TV
