Recording iTunes Movie Rentals
How can I keep iTunes Rentals forever?
I’m going to have a trip so I want to watch the movies and TV shows I rented from iTunes store during the time on the train. But all the rental iTunes M4V videos are protected by the DRM. Is there a legal way for me to enjoy iTunes rentals on my PC or other devices without any time limitations or DRM protection? Can I record my iTunes rentals so I could keep them forever?
We know the movies and TV-shows we rented from the iTunes store have time limitations. Once you start playing the movie rental you only have 24 hours to finish it (24 hours in the U.S.A and 48 hours in Canada). After the rental period, the rented videos will disappear automatically from your iTunes library.
