Sync iTunes to Nexus 7 - Enjoy iTunes M4V on Google Nexus 7 when father-son camping

“We are going to have a father-son camping trip next weekend. It’s a very cool ‘dad thing’ to do. More than putting up a tent, getting a campfire going, preparing food, and riding, we will bring Google Nexus 7 with us and watch movies on it as entertainment. I have some iTunes movies and now I would like to put them onto my Google Nexus 7. Is there any way I can get iTunes movies onto Google Nexus 7?” 

 

To solve this question directly - iTunes purchased movies are DRM protected and cannot be played on any other computers or devices which are not authorized. In this case, the Google Nexus 7 is unauthorized, thus you need to strip off this kind of protection first using Pavtube ChewTune, and then transfer the copy protection removed iTunes movies to Nexus 7 for viewing.
