How to Play iTunes Movies on PS5 [100% Work]

Part 1. Can you Play iTunes Movies on PS5?

The PS5 supports various media formats, but iTunes movies are not one of them. iTunes movies come with FairPlay DRM protection, which restricts playback to Apple devices and prevents direct streaming or transferring to non-Apple platforms, including the PS5.

Additionally, iTunes movies use the M4V format, which is not supported by PS5's media player. Therefore, to play iTunes movies on your PS5, you need to first remove the DRM protection and convert them to a PS5-compatible format like MP4 and MKV.
