2012 Popular iTunes Movie and Movie Recovery Software

Pop Movies in iTunes

If you are Apple product user, I suppose you must be familiar with Apple iTunes. As without this application, you probably do nothing with your iPhone, iPad, iPod or Macbook. iTunes allows users to transfer media files from computer to Apple devices. However, you need an Apple ID and account in order to get files like movies or songs from it. Each Apple ID could access different iTunes Store, which depends on your account’s area. For example, if you register an account in the USA, then you can only purchase movies and songs from iTunes USA Store.

The price of movies ranges from $4.99 to $19.99, and you can rent movies for as low as $.99. You have 30 days to watch a rental from the date of purchase, but once you begin watching, you only have 24 hours to finish the movie before it disappears from your library.

You can get whatever media files from iTunes, like music, games and podcasts are all available at the click of a mouse or the touch of a finger on iTunes.

iTunes Movie DRM Protection

The M4V file format is a video file format manufactured by Apple and it's not far from the MP4 format. The differences include the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, along with the therapy for AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio, which is not standardized for the MP4 container.

Apple uses the M4V files to encode TV episodes, movies, and music videos inside the iTunes Store. The copyright of M4V files can be protected by utilizing Apple's FairPlay DRM copyright protection. To try out a protected M4V file, your computer ought to be authorized (using iTunes) while using the account that's helpful to find the video. However, unprotected M4V files without AC3 audio could possibly be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to ".mp4".

Recover Movies on Mac

With my description of Apple iTunes and DRM-Copyright protections, you would know that if you purchase or rent one movie from iTunes Store, you can only playback it on Apple devices. However, how do you handle if this “important” movie is deleted by mistake or your computer crashes without any reason, and you don’t backup your video files? Do you have any chance to recover iTunes movie successfully? While, the following word covers the best answer for you.

First of all, you need to choose one data recovery software or video recovery software for you to complete this task. On my last article "Video creator and video recovery software" I have listed some freeware of data recovery program, you can check any one of them to see if the free software can fix the problem that you have had. However, for my own opinion, I choose shareware to rescue my lost files, as there is no free lunch at all. Take uMacsoft data recover for instance. Download here.

Launch uMacsoft and you will see there is hard drive displayed on the program interface, you just need to click it and software will scan partition automatically for searching your lost iTunes movies completely. This process would take you several minutes.

When finishing scanning, you could see your deleted iTunes video files are listed on the program. Just check them to preview or click “Recovery” button to get movies back with ease.
