How to Burn iTunes-Store Movies?

You can't. They're protected by DRM and there's no way I'm aware of to convert them to DVD successfully. If you want to watch iTunes-purchased content on a TV you pretty much have to buy an AppleTV.
That sucks....
Someone told me I can use a program in Windows to do it, but was wondering if there are any MAC programs that will do it....?

As far as I was aware there aren't any programs that'll successfully strip the DRM from iTunes video purchases. Yeah, it sucks, but the content providers specifically don't want you to do this. I mean, if you could, then why would you buy the DVDs they're selling?
if you have a video capable iPod, you can get the cables to hook up to your TV. thats a bit cheaper than an appleTV. but other than that i dont know a very good solution since you can't burn DVDs from iTunes.
Can't you:
1. Get the movie file from user>music>iTunes>movies>film name
2. Import to iMovie
3. export to iDVD
4. Burn
Wouldn't that be possible??

correct me if I'm wrong but I think it won't work because those programs won't let drm protected content in...
I have not tried this but was thinking in a hypothetical sense the other day about this. I have a 17" iMac with MiniDVI to SVideo adapter going to my HDTV to play Itunes content. Couldn't I put that through my component DVD recorder and record from there? I have not tried this because honestly I dont need to as I have a Video iPod and my iMac hooked directly up to the TV, but was curious about the same thing. I dont believe that the DRM would cause issues with a component DVD Burner. Just my $.02
BTW, as of yesterday I have finished my complete transformation from PC World to Mac World. I now replaced my work and home computers with Mac's. I am a happy man now. Have a great day people!

Sure. You can burn the movie files to a DVD, just as you would burn data files. You just can't create a movie DVD that will play in a DVD player.
Well you can burn them to a DVD, but only in a data format, which will not play on a DVD player and keeps the DRM intact.
yes there is a way
i use a mac and i use parallels and a software called tunebite for windows
tunebite is a windows only software and in my opinion the only thing good about windows
tunebite removes the DRM from movie and audio files from itunes the thing is it is not done very quickly it takes the entire length of the movie to do
there is also a software out there called sound taxi + videorip i believe it to be a windows software as well and it is suppose to remove the DRM as well
best of luck
