If you have a DVD burner on your computer, you can also burn the converted iTunes videos to a DVD first, then plug in the DVD disc to your Samsung TV to play. However, DVD is on the way out, so more and more new devices including some model of Samsung TVs don’t support DVD disc any more. Please have a check before you do that.
