Q: Is there any way that I could edit the downloaded iTunes music, video movies and TV episode in Windows Movie Maker?

A: Theoretically no, since Windows Movie Maker WMM can't recognize iTunes music and video movie. But there is way to make it via 3rd party application.

As we all know that WMM supports editing .mp3 .wma .wav music and .wmv .avi .mpg video movie, while iTunes offers music in AAC (DRM-protected .m4p, non-DRM .m4a) and video movie in .mov or DRM-protected .m4v. Then there're jobs (removing DRM and converting formats) need to be done before editing iTunes music video movie in WMM.
