How to get an iTunes-DRMed m4v file experience on Galaxy Note?
Samsung Galaxy Note is one of those devices that you'll either completely love or totally hate -- its sheer size alone will certainly be a barrier for those with smaller hands (or pockets). With the Note, Samsung has managed to create one of the world's largest smartphones, but cunningly it's also an incredibly compact tablet with a high-resolution 1280 x 800 pixels display -- the same as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet -- without the high-resolution footprint. There is also 1080p video playback with support for MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 codecs. By any means, Samsung Galaxy Note is really a nice media player. In order to enrich our digital entertainment on the Android-based handset, we can transfer movies purchased from iTunes store to the Galaxy Note for enjoying everywhere.

The process could be very complicated. Here I would introduce you an easiest way stripping DRM protection from iTunes m4v files and converting protected m4v files to fit for Galaxy Note.
