I recently bought the movie inception and the digital copy had to be downloaded from either itunes or windows media. I have a Mac so I went with itunes. However, I put the movie on my Droid X and it wont play. From what i've found it's because it's in the dhm (whatever) format and non iphones wont play those. Is there a way to convert those, or an app that would play it?

Yes, it has DRM. That only plays on itunes, or ipod/ipad.

Not very easy to do. And you lose a lot of quality when you do.

Your best bet is to rip the dvd to your computer, then use software like Handbrake to convert it to h264. It will actually be much higher quality than the digital copy.
