iTunes movies onto a USB on my tv?

I Have bought movies via iTunes on my iMac. How can I transfer/copy them onto a USB so I can then watch them on my TV?


Will I then need software to then convert it so my TV will be able to read it?


OR is there another way I can do this?

You cannot do that. They are DRM protected and can only be played

on an authorized computer, iDevice, or AppleTV all of which need to be tied

to the AppleID that purchased it.


If your TV has extra HDMI or DVI inputs, you can purchase adapters for the iMac

to play the movies from it to the TV or purchase na AppleTV and stream to it from

the iMac via Home Sharing.


Conversion of the files to any format playable by other devices violates the license agreement!!!!!!!!!
