Mac DRM Video Converter Review

You must be aware of the term called DRM; It basically stands for ‘Digital Rights Management.’ The main motive behind the inception of the DRM was to protect digital media from piracy. Over a period, DRM has taken many shapes, from digital watermarks to proprietary file types. But the conclusive aspect is that you can’t copy or download the content you purchase or play it on anything other than the intended device.

Like many of you, the same mechanism applies to the movies that we rented from iTunes store. You see, rented movie from iTunes store is much cheaper than buying one. Unfortunately, there is a time limitation of 24 to 48 hours for a rented movie. Afterward, the movie gets deleted automatically. I know the whole concept of DRM, directly or indirectly gives trouble to consumers in some ways.

In the present era, fortunately, there are numerous software and services which claim to convert those rent movies (from iTunes) to free MP4 files by stripping the DRM legally. However, many of these services are not as reliable or authentic and take a lot of time in conversion.

Recently I came acorss a software named ‘Mac DRM video converter’ and which I believe is genuine. After using it for a while, I decided to come out with the review of the software for you guys. So that you can make an effective and optimum utilization of the software.

So Let’s see how this software functions and what pros and cons are associated with DRM Video Converter.

User-Interface

As far as the user interface is concerned, the software functions with iTunes very fine and effectively. It has a built-in DRM Video filter which may find those movies and TV Shows which you purchased or rented automatically.

The software’s interface is consumer friendly, and you can easily convert iTunes movies to MP4 video files within a matter of few clicks. All you need to do is to click “Add Files” to load the iTunes movies/TV shows that you are looking to convert, then click “Convert” to convert them.

The converted MP4 videos may be played independently without any restrictions on any devices like android devices, PC, iPhone, iPad, Mac, as long as device supports playing videos of MP4 format.

Speed

That’s where the software gains brownie points. You see, other software available in the market for the same niche considered to be relatively slow in converting the videos.
