How to Stream iTunes Videos to Amazon Fire TV ?

About Amazon Fire TV

This Amazon made video-streaming device came into a crowd market which is dominated by well-established devices like Roku and Apple TV on April 2, 2014. Fire TV is designed to stream video and audio content to a high-definition television for enjoyment.

Weakness of Fire TV

The weakness of Fire TV is obvious. On one hand, this market has already had good video-streaming devices like Roku and Apple TV, which beats it in reputation among customers. Besides, Fire TV is pricing at $99 largely higher than Chromecast's $35, which makes it less attractive in price.

Superiority of Fire TV

As long as we give a closer look at Fire TV's specs, we will also find that the strength or superiority of Fire TV over other video-streaming devices is also apparent. The below table lists some unique features of Fire TV that cannot be found among Apple TV, Roku and so on.

Processor	Quad-core
Voice Search	Available
Memory	2GB
Sound	Dolby Digital Plus
Number of Games	300+
Amazon Instant Video	Available
Pre-Cached Streaming	Available

We can tell from the above table that Amazon Fire TV is still competent and attractive though it enters the market later than others. But the core competitiveness of Fire TV, of course, still lies in its ability to provide more videos for people to enjoy on a big screen. It can support streaming 1080p videos and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound, which makes video watching a visual feast.

You can not only choose the channels like Youtube and Netflix inside Fire TV to watch videos you want, but also stream videos from outside to Fire TV for watching since it supports bluetooth and has USB port. There is no problem to stream ordinary videos to Fire TV for playback, but iTunes videos which are tightly protected by DRM cannot directly be transferred to Fire TV. We need a DRM Remover to turn iTunes videos into ordinary and unprotected videos in order to enjoy them on Fire TV.

M4VGear DRM Media Converter (Mac / Windows) has been specializing in removing DRM from both iTunes purchases and rentals and converting them to ordinary video and audio formats like MP4, AVI, MP3, etc. The aim of M4VGear is to become the best DRM Removal software and provide the best experience in removing DRM and enjoying DRM-free videos for users.
