m4v to dvd

[Prot]

I recently purchased some tv episodes from iTunes Store and now I wish to encode and author to DVD. These are NOT currently available on DVD as they are fairly new. I am running an iMac with Snow Leopard. I did try to use Toast 10, but get the message that only an Apple app can utilize purchases from iTunes Store, and I am not having any luck with iMovie (won't import) or iDVD (won't play). Handbrake gives the message "No valid source."

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Videos purchased from the iTunes Music Store are DRM-encoded, and unless you can remove that DRM (sorry, I don't know how to do that), nothing but iTunes/Quicktime are going to be able to play the videos, and there's basically nothing that will let you convert the videos or create a video DVD with them.

I figured as much. I had gotten around that before on music by creating a audio cd, then ripping back to mp3. Thought maybe I could do the same with video (with some quality loss), but iTunes does not seem to have a way to do this.
