    No. I'm on Windows 8 and the program is not functioning properly. I just bought it today and I tried it with Cirque du Soleil's Worlds Away and it won't do it. Tried my other movies and it still won't convert. Half the time I get an error message, the other half it completes, only either the picture is distorted or it only converted the first 10 to 15 minutes of a 1 hour 30 minute video. Its either this program doesn't work properly on Windows 8, or it doesn't work at all.

    myfairtunes is a pretty good software and I've used it a few times; though as you said, it's not a full drm remover software and limited to just the one type of file output. For that reason the best itunes video drm removal software is Aimersoft DRM Media Converter.
