iTunes movies to Lumia 1020.

[Jeff Schaub]

This is my first Windows Phone, so maybe it isn't a 1020 thing but more of a Windows 8 thing (or morel likely an Apple thing).

I'm using the Windows Phone App for Mac, and when I go to the "Movies & TV Shows" tab, nothing is there. I definitely have some movies. Does this have to do with DRM crap? I see all of my music, some of which was purchased on iTunes as well. Need some help here. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the cold hard truth.

Gotta love DRM. That's the issue.

Music on iTunes hasn't had DRM for years. Everything else does though.

(I was bummed too, as I had a rather large iTunes library.) It makes sense to purchase movies on Xbox Video now though (for me) as they can stream to a TV through Xbox, as well as on any PC. (And your phone! I think. I haven't tried it, and the lack of Xbox Video on Windows Phone is honestly ridiculous.)

They are being baked into WP8.1.
