[DM-MUG] Burning downloaded TV vieeos to DVD

[Bill Davis]

I presume you mean "burn to a DVD to play on a normal DVD player."    
Answer: No.  Apple (or rather, the studios) don't allow you to do that.

There may be some way to bypass that, but probably not legally, and I  
actually haven't heard of a way to do it myself.

You can back up the file itself to a DVD or CD or wherever, for  
backup purposes, but that's it.

And this is why I do not purchase ANYTHING, EVER from the iTunes  
store and never will.   There used to be a way to crack the FairPlay  
DRM on iTunes Music files but I think that crack has been bypassed  
and haven't heard that it's been cracked again.   But I may have  
missed the news, because, as I said, I don't purchase anything from  
iTunes.   I try out their freebies from time to time...but most of  
'em are junk, frankly.  For the things I like, I buy the CD or DVD  
which at least are easily convertible to any format you want.
