Anybody know how to watch itunes movies on an android? It seems the only way is to pay for a DRM removal but it seems so unfair that I cannot watch movies that I paid for on my device!

That's why I don't use iTunes. $10+ for a movie you can only use on certain devices, vs $2 or so for the used DVD from Amazon or wherever... The price is just a minor issue, but the fact that they control how you can use your purchase is ridiculous IMHO.

I totally agree, but really this is iTunes issue, not Android issue. DRM is evil - Apple should be the one taking these complaints

Thats correct. You are paying to rent them.

The UI seems nice. I've been using Handbrake on Ubuntu and Windows (and OS X when I had a Mac) (converting to mp4, not mpv).
I'll check this one out next time I'm on that side of the hard drive.

Yes I am in no way blaming android. I'm frustrated with apple but thought that if anyone would know how to get around it xda would.

Yea, I know. I don't often buy movies as renting is good but I was given a voucher. It is sad when you you realise that, as the previous poster said, you are just rentig your purchase. There should be some law against this.

The Netflix service itself has not yet been activated for mobile devices due to a DRM issue and that is why the leaked apk can only assess the system. I know that the link as already been provided to my previous thread, but feel free to post any questions there and I'll try to update everyone.
Hope that helps.

This kind of stuff pisses me off. It is one of the main reasons that I will not get an iPhone. I have a 2nd gen ipod touch, but my wife got that as a gift and I haven't picked it up since I got my Dinc. Especially now that I'm running Protekk's CM7 Rom
I just hate when big companies corner consumers to force people to buy their products and not someone else's. Too much of that going on these days, especially in the mobile and PC markets.

Actually the issue at hand has more to do with the production companies who would love any reason to back out of their contracts with Netflix and sue them. Essentially they won't let Netflix release anything if it even has a chance of being pirated and given Android's open source nature they need hardware DRM since they can't bake in the software DRM as in iOS and WP7.
Hope that provided some clarity.

i would think there would be someway hide the fact that you are accessing it with an android phone, make it think you are on a laptop or something using silverlight. i really have no idea how this works, or what it is that tells them you are on a android device, but with all the different types of emulators seems like someone could emulate that.

I would love to blame Apple as it is so much fun, but unfortunately this is a DRM (digital rights management) issue. There is a feeling that Android devices are too open source. (laughable since the pc is the #1 route for violating that with access to torrents and p2p). The windows based phones also have netflix. Netflix itself would love to get their app on Android phones as it can only increase business, but they must get past the issue of DRM. I'm waiting patiently as well.

How ironic is it that there was an ad for Netflix in my view of this thread
Anyways, we will get Netflix. I think the demand is too high for them to ignore.

Possible to play iTunes purchased video content?

I have literally over 500$ worth of videos on iTunes. I am trying to find a way to be able to play them back on the Xoom. Seems DoubleTwist won't copy over DRM files. Is there any program for free/purchase that can do this? I don't want to have to buy a iPod Touch just to watch iTunes on the go.

The only way to do it would be to remove the DRM...which for itunes videos I believe can only be done using a special program on a Mac...

Apple looses again.

Never buy DRM. Apple has successfully locked you in to always using apple software just because you paid so much for content.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

You just need to search around on the net, there are some programs that can do it with a PC. You can either purchase some, or there is one free one called requiem that you can use, but it only works on specific versions of itunes. Its a java based program and can strip the drm off a 2 hour movie in about 10 mintues.

I'm honestly surprised you didn't go for an iPad first. It just seems like you are someone that would have...

I've just swapped from an ipad to the xoom & transferred my music videos straight from the iTunes library on my PC to the video folder of the xoom & they all play straight away. I tried to copy a movie over but couldn't get that to play though. Don't know if it makes any difference but are they stored in the correct folder?

The only "purchased" content that I have in my iTunes library are digital copies of blurays that I own anyway. I d/l my music from MP3VA ($.15 per song) or rip them from my CDs since I would NEVER EVER pay $.99 for one song or $9.99 for a digital video file.

Hey, you're not the only one. I have an iPhone 4 and Mac Mini as well. Actually, I'm still not great with OS X but, doing the ADB commands through it is easier I think. It's more Linuxy/Unixy... Just like in the Xoom itself.
I wonder if I have any DRM videos... I got them off iTunes but they were free.

That's a bunch of crap. That app doesn't even support video. It won't even remove DRM from music...

you can use requiem for removing the DRM. It's worked great for me every time. There is a (TOR) onion link to get it if you google for it.

Why do people think that paying 12 dollars or so a month to microsoft somehow protects microsoft and x box from this **** happening?
Let's not be stupid here the only reason it hasn't happened to xbox accounts is because they havent targeted xbox accounts.

I think a lot of this hacking has to do with Sony removing the OS feature. The X-Box has been hacked but not to this extent. It was hacked to run pirated games not steal information.

then accusing the group called Anon for hacking and bring down the PSN ..

storing important info like custom data .. in a plain txt files NOT ENCRYPTED is a major slap in the face to each and every customer sony has

I in fact DO know how it works and if you are stupid enough to actually believe that handing Microsoft money, that likely doesn't even go to security, is going to protect your account then when it happens ill just laugh at you.
I will repeat myself.
The only reason, ONLY REASON, this hasn't happened to Xbox accounts is because they aren't being targeted.

Nice add. Almost makes me wanna buy another one.

actually i loved the add..

I can see how it's not apparent until the end what it's advertising, but if it was shown in cinemas (since it's too long for a TV commercial) a lot of people would want to look the video up on Youtube later, thereby giving them a ton of other Galaxy S II info in the Related Videos on the right.
Sometimes I think that's all that is needed. The Galaxy S is popular enough for the name to be recognisable and not need introduction, so the act of presenting displaying a Galaxy S II, even for a few seconds, should get people talking or interested enough to Google it in their own time.

That ad is sick!
