Default iTunes videos on a zune...

Okay, so I'm pretty bummed that I can't download episodes of my favorite TV shows on Zune, so I was wondering if videos from iTunes are compatible with zune?

Well, if they don't have DRM, I'm sure you can, 'cause that's the only thing stopping people. Problem is, I don't know if you can put DRM on videos or not.

Yes, you can put DRM on videos. And if they don't have DRM, you should be able to put them on your Zune, or if they have a .mov format or so, convert it to a .WMV so that it will play on the Zune.

- DRM
- Wrong format

Only two things that can stop you. Both of which, are fixable.

Sooner or later, Zune Marketplace will get TV Shows.

I download all of mine. In fact, I'm currently trying to add a 2 hour long TV special(Death Note: Director's Cut) to my Zune. It went really fast until 50%, now it's going like, 1% per every couple of minutes. It's on 81% right now, it better not crash.

Oh no, I just jinxed myself. ****.. Well, nothing has happened yet. Maybe I'll luck out.

The .mp4 format will play on the Zune, but it will show up under "videos" unless you convert it to wmv and add the correct tag. iTunes videos have DRM which, I believe, has yet to be cracked. I know their audio DRM was cracked quite a while ago, but videos are proving to be much harder. I know of one program that claims to remove iTunes' video DRM, but I've never used it and I have no idea if it works.


EDIT: Podcasts don't contain DRM. If they did, I don't think they would even show up.

why cant they just make the tv shows in markertplace free???

some of them are not very good, but yet they expect us to pay for them??

it takes so many points to get a bloody music video.

its like $5 for like 400 points, they need o massivly increase the point system.... $5 SHOULD buy u like 4000 points!
