How to transfer iTunes, Digital Copy movies to Galaxy S4?

Movies purchased from iTunes online store play on your Windows PC and Mac computer. If you have an iPhone 5, it’s quick and easy to sync iTunes movies to iPhone for watching on the road. However, if you own an Android phone or tablet, it does not make sense for transferring iTunes movie purchases to the device. Unlike iOS device, the Android phones do not play iTunes M4V shows and movies. Even the latest Samsung Galaxy S4 will not support playing iTunes video. The Galaxy S4 does not play iTunes movies not because it can’t decode H.264 – actually it does a good job in playing H.264 video - the truth is iTunes M4V will not play on Galaxy S4 or any other Android devices because it is not allowed to play on unauthorized devices due to DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. The same thing happens to Digital Copy movies that come with your Blu-ray and DVD collections. If you really need to put iTunes movies and Digital Copy to Samsung Galaxy S4 for personal use, the DRM remover ChewTune will make free digital copy out of DRM-protected contents.
