Is it normal to receive "Play" command from iTunes everytime when I start the conversion

Yes. It's normal. And you have to accept the "Play" command to run the conversion successfully. TunesKit will send the "Play" command to iTunes everytime when you start convert iTunes movies to make sure if the computer is authorized to play the movie or not. If the movie can't be played on the computer, TunesKit can't convert the movie as well.

 

When I try to install the TunesKit for Windows, my anti-virus program detected that it contains virus. What's wrong?

Please just ignore the warning. TunesKit for Windows is a newly released application. We haven't applied the Code Signing Certificates from Microsoft yet. That's why we get the warning. But we are sure the program won't make any damage to your computer.

 

There is no video in the converted MP4 video, only audio converted. Why?

Please make sure you can play the original iTunes movies on your computer at first. If the original videos can be played fine, please let us know the movie name, file size and the detailed computer information. Contact us at: [email protected]

 

Can't add or convert iTunes files with TunesKit after upgrading to iTunes 12.1

Update: The issue was resolved already. TunesKit for Windows fully supports the latest iTunes 12.4 or later now.

Many users have found that after upgrading to the latest release of iTunes 12.1, TunesKit for Windows didn't work properly. If you are now facing such a problem, please kindly note that this is because the new iTunes 12.1 is made to a full 64-bit application that is not supported by the current version of TunesKit. Our programmers are now working on it and trying to fix the problem ASAP. But before the official solution is available, we suggest you not to install the new iTunes 12.1 update if you have not done it yet. But if for any chance you have already upgraded to the new version, please downgrade it to the previous 12.0.1 (32-bit) of iTunes in order to use TunesKit properly. Please follow this tutorial to find out how to downgrade iTunes 12.1 to 12.0.1.

 

Lose AC3 5.1 surround sound after conversion with TunesKit

Some users may find that after conversion, there's no AC3 5.1 surround sound contained in the converted iTunes movies when playback. In fact, the AC3 5.1 audio is retained in the output file, but not all media players could support playing AC3 5.1 sound. That has something to do with AC3 codec authorisation but not with TunesKit. To be more specifically, if you test the original iTunes movies with AC3 5.1 audio track in iTunes, you'll find there's no audio if you select the AC3 5.1 track while playing. In this case, we suggest you try VLC media player or KMPlayer that have been authorized with the AC3 codec. For other media players, you may need to purchase or install specific AC3 5.1 codec in order to play the AC3 audio properly.

If you want to play converted iTunes movies with AC3 5.1 audio in Apple TV, please drop the movie file into Subler and select the AC3 5.1 sound track, then click the option to fix faulty audio fallback.
