itunes question

[Inferno]

I have quite a few movies and tv shows on itunes that I bought and paid for. Is there a way to convert them to mpeg or some other format so I can save them on my external hard drive? I want to go away from using itunes.

Thanks

Cool, I'll try that but I just read that it cannot convert purchased itunes vids. I spent like $50 last night on tunebite(stupid me) figuring I can burn the itune file to dvd and let anydvd clean it. Didn't work, I got the file on the dvd(I think), but cant play it.

Yeh I tunes is one of the crappiest programs in the world
