    Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.

     

    Quit iTunes first.

     

    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.

    If you have a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.

    If you have a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.

    Open the "iTunes" folder.

     

    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".

     

    Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message?
