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.

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.

I had the first iPad for 8 month's. Then had the Xoom for 2 weeks. Then iPad 2 for 10 days.. Now Xoom.
Idk what your talking about.

I remember following your early thread(s). Welcome back man! And I dont' think it was meant offensive; it seems natural to assume that someone with half a grant worth of videos on iTunes would opt for an iPad... But you made the right decision!

Oh no! I definitely wasnt trying to be offensive. As the poster I quoted said, it seems like someone who poured that much money into iTunes would get the tablet made for iTunes y'know.

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.

I was able to move and view them using Tunesync with little problem

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.

Thank you Asus

Just wanted to add a happy voice to the discussion here. I'm involved in social media as a consultant, I must always be on, always connected, using my TF via a wifi hotspot on my phone is a LOT more pleasant an experience than working via my phone with it's tiny little screen
Love sitting outside on my porch,working while sipping cofee without having to lug a hot,heavy laptop with me.
Thank you Asus for this terrfic device, I also thank you also for listening & responding to the feedback users are giving you on this forum!

i agree, this is a pretty awesome device

Ya~
ASUS did it well this time. Good job !

same here.
The only thing stopping me from using the TF exclusively is that there is ONE app not available yet....when it is...bye bye laptop....you' stayin' at home!

Lol Wooot

I agree, this is the best Android tablet release to date. ASUS has done a great job in designing (and pricing) this device.
I use it for business, and this weekend my wife asked if she could use it to look up something on the internet - it is now on her birthday wish list. She is an iPhone user, BTW.

I love my TF a little more each day! I love the freedom it gives me, no more having to pack and lug a laptop bag around with me!

Its the unhappy folks who tend to make their voice heard, while the happy rest of us enjoy life, right? glad to see someone give praise to the awesome device Im sittin on my porch drinkin a beer, listening to the radio and browsing the web on my tablet right now (colorado) Much love ASUS, and asus, please give us tegra3 transformer2 as soon as possible! haha

lol.. I just posted my own TF love post before reading this one. I totally agree!

If he's referring to netflix then just use splashtop and stream it as it runs GREAT on the tablet. Being able to text message, make a call, and watch netflix is a great feeling
I used to ask myself what was the point of a tablet and now I can finally understand the answer to that question.

Next week I think I am reordering mine. I sent it back to Amazon because it was having problems, but I am moving in a few days so I will wait until the move is done.
I like the lazy factor of a tablet I still feel much more productive on my PC, but I can't lounge around and poke at things on it. I also kind of miss dungeon defenders... I was thinking about the fact that the TF2 is just over the horizon, but I can afford to get a new TF and gift that to my little sister. That seems like a win-win if I ever heard one.

Amazon is sold out now but they last had the B6O revision so the next batch will probably be the same or higher. If you're going to reorder, now would be a good time.

Official Netflix support coming in 3.2?

Just read the same post... YES!!! Finally! ...the earlier apk for rooted TF101s with patch was awesome for sure, but it's great we're finally getting some official love (and support).

Yes, I also own a Xoom running 3.2 and you can sideload the Netflix app on it and it works fine. I am waiting for it to show up in the Market though so I can get the automatic Netflix updates as opposed to the sideloaded version that you must manually update. Hopefully, the TF will get this working in 3.2... Keeping my fingers crossed...

That requires root and the installation of a patch. I have no time for such things (including messing around with unrooting when then next TF update comes), and so having an official Netflix app will be most welcome.

http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer/specification
Theyre claiming Netflix(us only) on their site, so possibly after 3.2

Keeping my fingers crossed. I've held out on rooting this far. Love my transformer and honestly can live without netflix on it, but it would surely be a plus to have it added.

Old cheesy B movies and crap peeps don't wanna see. Nah I'm a Netflix subscriber and I do use it a couple times a month at least and it would just be nice to have since many other devices have it is all.

For me it adds an extra component to the transformer that other tablets already have. At this point android is playing catchup to Ipad. (well..everyone is)
They all are, but android has a good chance to get there, but they need to add what competitors offer and then add their own extra spice.
Personally, i have netflix enabled in all my tvs at home, but would love to have it on my TF for road trips. If i stay on a hotel, tether off the phone in the car..it just adds more thrills to an already good device.
Oh, and the TF has replaced the newspaper and book in my restroom. BEST reading material for when taking care of business.. Imagine watching some movie while pooping..lol Legs would fall asleep..

I don't understand WTF is up with Netflix and the TF. It works fine sideloaded on my unrooted Xoom and even my old Viewsonic GTablet has an official Netflix app in the market and it works great. It's rooted but it's Froyo 2.2! It does load in portrait mode but plays back perfect in landscape...

Hi, I jsut got an A500...

[Q] wanting to buy the TF.....

SO I had a nook tablet and I loved having an android tablet. I put CM9 on it and for the most part it worked just fine. I ended up getting rid of my NT because I wanted a full tablet and not something that pretended to be one. I am having issues deciding one what I want to get now.
I love the TF for the price. But I am concerned about not having flash with ICS anymore. Has there been any work around with the custom ROMS out? I kinda feel like if I can't have flash then I might just get an Ipad2 while they are still around. If there was a way for flash I would be sold.....gotta be able to watch my porn. lol..jk jk jk

on andriod 4.04 and i have flash. I have no idea what you are talking about.

New browsers will not have flash. So, the new chrome browser does not have it, however the old stand by browser, as well as dolphin and some other browser still have flash.
It works fine on the tf.

Yup, Flash works fine on the stock browser.
If you go to a page thats built up with 90% flash adds, it can be a bit slow with loading the page. But it works just fine. (ICS 4.0.4)

I think that just made my decision for me. Thanks guys! Are you guys using stock ICS or a flashed ROM

Im using team EOS nightly build 19, as stated in my signature
But official asus 4.0.3 works fine with flash as well.

My recommendation if you decide to get it is to also get the keyboard. I didn't think that I would really use it but with the extra input ports and battery its great.

I bought one from NewEgg today for $289, includes docking keyboard! It's refurbished with 1 year warranty. So, don't buy if refurb scares you, but it's fine for me.
(I can't post a link here because I haven't made enough posts yet, but you should check it out!)

FYI, the Newegg deal with the keyboard dock is 389 (refurbished) -- you have to select the special deal when you go to add the TF101 to your cart. It's 289 for the tablet alone.

I wouldn't worry about all the idiot idiotic "tech" sites claiming flash is dead etc etc.
They are clueless cretins. I wouldn't trust them to polish my shoes. Flash just got updated to 11.2 a couple of days back.
The Register, BBC News, Tech Radar, Gizmodo, Engadget and more all look like idiots.

the more I look into things...I am considering the Ipad. I know that is just pure evil to mention here! Please forgive me!

Ok so complaining about flash on the tf.......
I can watch the youtube website 720p and be quite happy.
The ipad cant use the website no flash the ipad has to rely on an app slow buffer times
If you want me to make a massive list I don't mind helping somebody not choose an apple.
Don't get me wrong I owned probably 7 ipods and when the iphone first came out i loved it and gave it a try. Over the years though they have stopped innovation lacked things and there new hardware is actually dated hardware now. Guess I would be classed as a convert lol

Then you truly won't have flash... Among other things. Apple products are good for people who don't care for customization or versatility. My TF can do anything that an iPad can do... The inverse can not be said. My TF with dock is without a doubt the closest thing to a laptop replacement available.
The iPads sure look cool though and sleek... Beyond that, their limited versatility has no use for me.
Apple is made to be idiot proof... They are like safety scissors... You use then with no fear of injury, but beyond play time they lack true use.
P.s. I was an idevice user until the iPhone 4. I've had the og iPhone, 3g, 3gs, 4, iPad 1 and iPad 2. They are good devices, but like others have said, apple has lost all innovation and opted to keep almost the exact phone since the beginning. Many others like myself desired change a well as free will of our content and devices.
Either way you should be happy with what you choose, we are lucky to have these options, we didn't have so many options a few years back.

Who cares? Let this guy buy an iPad if he thinks that's what he wants. Spare us all another "versus iPad" thread, or go to one of the existing "versus iPad" threads if that must be rehashed.

Its not that I want the ipad.....from what I understand. The ipad2 and even the new ipad uses outdated technologies. And the tf101 is already a better machine. I just want to make sure it can do everything....that is all.
