Greetings,

This is all a bit new to me, so I apologize in advance if my question seems overly basic. I have searched this forum without luck regarding this issue.

In iTunes 9.0.3 on a MacTel OS X 10.5.8, I have legally purchased and downloaded a TV Show. The source file is easily located and is in 'MPEG-4 Video File' format. iTunes will not allow a user to create/burn a DVD which will play in a standard DVD player. Neither will burning software such as Toast, noting that the content is protected.

It is my desire to view the content I legally purchased solely in my own house on something other than my small workstation screen. In that vein, what is my best option for stripping the protection so as to burn a DVD for my own personal and private use?

I have read through the specs for some of the commercially available DRM removal softwares, however it is unclear to me if the protection can be removed for the MPEG-4 Video File format.

Thank you for any advice.
