Top 5 Best DRM Removal Programs Review for Android, Windows 8 Tablets/Phones

Are you looking for DRM Removal software? This article covers the best DRM Removal programs to use for legally removing DRM protection from your video, music, TV show files with high quality and keep subtitles. The Best DRM Removal review will help you find the best DRM video removal tool to free your DRM protected video and TV show files.

What's DRM File?

Digital rights management (DRM) is a class of controversial technologies that are used by hardware manufacturers, publishers, copyright holders, and individuals with the intent to control the use of digital content and devices after sale.

The use of digital rights management is not universally accepted. Some content providers claim that DRM is necessary to fight copyright infringement online and that it can help the copyright holder maintain artistic control or ensure continued revenue streams. Proponents argue that digital locks should be considered necessary to prevent "intellectual property" from being copied freely, just as physical locks are needed to prevent personal property from being stolen. Those opposed to DRM contend there is no evidence that DRM helps prevent copyright infringement, arguing instead that it serves only to inconvenience legitimate customers, and that DRM helps big business stifle innovation and competition. Furthermore, works can become permanently inaccessible if the DRM scheme changes or if the service is discontinued.

DRM File Main Types:

1. iTunes Video File

According to Apple, iTunes supports any video format that works with QuickTime and files purchased or downloaded from iTunes store. That means if your video files have a .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 file extension, generally you can play them in iTunes. However, there are also limitations on video codecs, sample rate, etc. So if your .mov, .m4v or .mp4 files are rejected by iTunes, that may be because of a codec problem. What's more, if you want to transfer these protected iTunes videos and movies to non-iPod player like Archos, Android tablets/phone, Windows 8 tablets/phones, BlackBerry Z10, Zune, PSP, etc., you need to legally remove DRM protection with a professional DRM Remover and record the videos to your devices supported formats.

2. Blu-ray/DVD Digital Copy

A Digital Copy is a commercially distributed computer file containing a media product such as a film or music album. The term contrasts this computer file with the physical copy (typically a DVD or Blu-ray Disc) with which the Digital Copy is usually offered as part of a bundle. It allows the disc's purchaser to create a single copy of the movie on a computer, and to view it on that computer's display or an external display (e.g. television) connected to that computer.

Digital Copy is a special product, bundled with your recent DVD or Blu-ray™ purchase, which provides you with a digital version of the movie. You may transfer your "Digital Copy" to your Mac®, PC and iTunes®-compatible devices (such as the iPod® touch, iPhone® and iPad™) or redeem your Digital Copy with one streaming on-demand movie service (such as VUDU or Amazon).

You can download more DRM videos from Windows Media Center, Amazon Videos, BBC iPlayer, Zune Marketplace, CinemaNow, Blockbuster, Napster, Pandora, Spiralfrog, Bearshare, iMesh, iMeeM and more.

Introduction:

As we all know, the Mac apps for removing DRM are very rare. And I find Pavtube ChewTune for Mac/Noteburner M4V Converter Plus for Mac is a versatile DRM removal tool(DRM Video Recorder) to bypass DRM protection from iTunes/Amazon Movie purchases and rentals on Mac Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion in high speed. Pavtube ChewTune for Mac is able to legally remove DRM protection and convert DRM protected movies/TV shows/music/videos to H.264/MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, MKV, MP4, AVI, MPEG, WMV, FLV, SWF, F4V, MOV, 3GP, 3G2, VOB, TS, DV compatible with Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Tab 3, Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy S4/S3, Surface RT/Pro, Google New Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Sony Xperia Z1, HTC One, Moto X, Sony PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, HTC Flyer, Thunderbolt, etc except for Apple devices(include iPhone 5S/5C/5, iPad 4/3, iPod 5, Apple TV 3 and so on). Noteburner M4V Converter Plus for Mac is able to remove DRM protection from purchased and rented iTunes movies, TV shows, music videos and convert DRM M4V to WMV, MPEG, MP4, AVI, ASF, 3GP, 3G2, FLV, SWF, MOV, VOB, F4V for various kinds of PMPs, smart phones, tablets, etc.

For Windows users, there are more options. Many DRM removal softwares take record technique as their Conversion Theory. If you want to keep subtitles and get the output videos are in highest quality, I think Pavtube ChewTune is the best choice.

How to Transfer/Copy Digital Copy movie to Surface RT?

Got an error message when you tried to copy a Digital Copy movie to your Surface RT? Here you will find an effective way to achieve your goal smoothly.

The Microsoft Surface RT is incredibly flexible in terms of media you can put on the device and users have a whole slew of problems when it comes to watching videos on Surface RT. If you've transferred some Digital Copy movies to your PC, you may want to get them ported over to your Surface RT for playback. However, when you tried to open them with xbox video they would not open and continued to give error messages says "can't play". So what if any Digital Copies work on Microsoft Surface RT? 

Basically, film makers use DRM (Digital Right Managemet) to protect their copy-right. This prevent you from watching the movies with an unauthorized media player or portable device. It is a pleasure that the Windows Media Player is one of the authorized media players. However, Microsoft didn't include Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center in Windows RT. This means Digital Copy movies will not even play on Microsoft Surface RT. 

Despite lack of offical support, you can view Digital Copy movies on Surface RT. It just takes a few more steps and only comes with some help from third-party software. But it can be done. Below is how: 

Note: Before conversion you need first to transfer Digital Copy to computer in Windows Media (.wmv) or iTunes video format (.m4v). If you have no idea about how, check my earlier post "Blu-ray/DVD Digital Copy: Transfer, Play and Backup" to learn details. 

Step 1: Download and install ChewTune. 

When converting protected Digital Copy WMV or M4V files, please make sure you videos play well in Windows Media Player or iTunes (Windows Media Player or iTunes is required for the conversion). Otherwise, the conversion may fail. 

Step 2: Click "Add" button to import your Digital Copy movies or just drag and drop the movies to the software. Batch conversion is supported so that you can add multiple files to convert at a time.



Step 3: Click "Format" bar and move mouse to "Windows" column, you can easily find the profile of "Microsoft Surface Windows RT H.264 Video (*.mp4)". The output videos could fit on Surface RT tablet perfectly. If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. 

Step 4: Click the big "Convert" button to begin encoding your Digital Copy to Surface RT playable videos. 

Once the encoding task completes, you can transfer the result videos to your SD card for your Surface. There now you know how to get Digital Copy movies onto your Microsoft Surface RT tablet so you can watch them on that gorgeous screen! 

This workaround works with Windows 8 as well, of course.
