How to convert/remove DRM from M4V Files?

How to remove DRM from M4V videos? Normally, I purchased and download movies from iTunes and now my hard drive is almost full, so I wanted to move them on an external hard drive. By this mean, I can also watch my iTunes library on my TV. But when I try to play them on TV, it says "file type not supported". I did some research and found that they are M4V format files which are DRM protected. How can I remove M4V DRM and convert them to another format?

 

The truth is all iTunes purchased and rented movies and TV episodes are DRM protected. (What is DRM?) The formats of them are in M4V. To watch them, you can only use Apple products like iPad, iPhone, iPod. Want to play them on other media devices like Zune, HTC, Kindle Fire, PlayBook, Android Phones, I'm sorry but you can't. But wait, if you removed the DRM protection from protected M4V files, you will be all good.
