Amazon Instant Video Question

Hello,
So I dowloaded some tv episodes on amazon.com through their instant video option and then realized that they cannot be downloaded onto to a mac. The amazon unbox feauture (that lets you do it on a PC) is not compatible with macs. Does anyone know a way I can downolad the files onto a mac?? I would really appreciate it especially because I don't have a wi-fi connection at home.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know how clearer Amazon could be on this subject:
"The Amazon Unbox video player is not compatible with Apple/Macintosh operating systems."

  • Transfer Amazon Instant Video Content from iPod Touch

    I made the mistake of purchasing a TV season from Amazon Instant video, unaware that I would not be able to download my content to my MacBook. I was able to download the TV season to my Windows Desktop using Amazon Unbox, but the DRM protected WMV files will not play on my Macbook. I was also able to download the TV season to my iPod Touch, using the Amazon Instant Video app. So, I was hoping to transfer these files from my iPod to my Macbook.
    Now my question is: Where are the downloaded video files saved on my iPod? I downloaded iFunBox to browse the files on my iPod, but I could not find the video files anywhere. Does anyone know where the Amazon Instant Video app saves downloaded content in the iPod Touch's file structure?
    Thank you,
    James

    Update:
    I was able to locate the files I was looking for, however, they were not video files. Each TV episode is represented by a folder containing hundreds of small .data files.
    Does anyone know if .data files can be reassembled into a video? I have a feeling this is linked to DRM protection.
    Thanks,
    James

  • Amazon Instant Video with pipelight: HD not available (HDCP)

    On my 64-bit archlinux-laptop I am using pipelight (0.2.5-2) and wine-silverlight (1.7.14-1) to watch video-streams of my "Amazon Instant Video"-account. Before end of february 2014, the provider of the video-stream-service was called "lovefilm" (Germany) and everything worked fine on archlinux. But now, I cannot watch movies in HD anymore and get this message:
    HD viewing isn't available because the display doesn't meet content protection (HDCP) requirements. This title will continue in Standard Definition.
    Maybe, I made something wrong with my pipelight/wine-silverlight-configuration. On my Playstation for example, I have no problems with "Amazon Instant Video" and HD. I guess, on ms-windows it should work as well. By the way, I am not using an external monitor (VGA-connections can cause HDCP-errors). And as ewaller told me in an e-mail, I should mention in this forum, that my intention is not to crack any copyright-protections but only want to watch my paid movies on my laptop.

    Hi andreas,
    the short answer is: its not (yet) supported with Pipelight. HDCP (or content protection in general) is a feature which is not available with any Linux driver (not even the proprietary ones), and besides that some other features are missing too. Nevertheless this is on our todo-list for future versions of Pipelight, but we can't give an exact schedule, especially as it involves a lot of legal problems and questions.
    For a bit more detailed information please take a look here, where Michael Müller (one of the other developers involved in Pipelight) summarized the current status. You can also subscribe to the bug report mentioned there if you want to be informed about all news concerning this issue.
    By the way: You would encounter exactly the same problem in some situations on Windows, for example when your monitor is only connected via VGA, and thus the video data cannot be securely transmitted.

  • HT201335 Airplay Mirroring for HBO Go or Amazon Instant Video

    When I try to stream HBO Go or Amazon Instant Video from my Ipad to my Apple TV, the image starts then stops and states, "Watching videos with AirPlay or through HDMI isn't currently available with this app." Then, the sound comes through the television but no video. I just purchased the Apple TV and am using an iPad 2. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi.
    In regard to your question, " If it doesn't work on iOS 5, then it shouldn't be in the store for iOS 5 devices. Right?"
    The apps general purpose is to enable you to view content on the device. AirPlay compatibility is a secondary feature and was only recently added in Feb this year. So, making the app available to iOS 5 users makes sense.
    The post I read specifically mentioned the problem of hearing audio but not seeing video via AirPlay that was resolved by upgrading the devices to iOS 6.
    Unfortunately I ran across this thread while going through the Apple forums here trying to resolve the issue of the Airplay button suddenly not being available on any of my devices (a router reboot was the resolution btw). It was a pretty common result of every google search I tried so it shouldn't be hard to find.
    I understand your hesitation to upgrade to iOS 6. I've held at 6.0 myself, which works fine, but 6.1 and 6.2 seem more trouble than benefit.

  • Anyone able to play Amazon Instant Video using Apple Digital AV Adapter

    Amazon just released the Amazon Instant Video app for the iPad July 31, 2012. Version is 1.0
    It's not a great app yet. I can get it to play on the iPad (by itself). When I hook up the iPad to the TV using the Digital AV Adapter, the app gets very unstable, crashes at times, doesn't load shows....basically doesn't work. Virtually everything else on the iPad displays fine on the TV using the adapter. I've tried Safari, Netflix, and a couple of games just to see if the problem was with the iPad or the app. The problem is with the app.
    I emailed Amazon support via feedback within the app, and got responses back similar to this:
    "I'm so sorry for the trouble you facing with the Instant videos which you want to play on TV.
    I understand now a days all the TV's are HDMI connected but I assure you that we are working for the improvements required on this field.
    The Amazon Instant Video app for iPad does not support playback on HDMI-connected TVs.
    Customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the service we provide. I've forwarded your feedback to our Amazon Instant Video team for consideration as we make future improvements."
    I find it hard to believe they designed it to not work that way-I replied and asked them if it was...have not heard back yet.
    Has anyone been able to view Amazon Instant Video on their TV from an iPad ? If yes, how did you do it.?

    <"The makers of the app tell you it does not work that way, you think they are lying to you?">
    Where did you read that the app doesn't support this?  Their app description says it does not support AirPlay. I'm not using AirPlay. It doesn't mention anywhere that it doesn't support iPads connected to TVs with HDMI, except in a support email response back to me.
    With the iPad hard wired to the TV with the Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable, on all of the other apps I've tried, the TV mirrors the iPad display. Even the few free games I tried would do this. This app falls apart when you hook up the HDMI to the iPad. To me that's a bug. I find it hard to believe that they designed it to not put out compatible digital video from the iPad. I would rather have seen their email response say that this is a known bug and that they are working on a fix. Maybe they are just beginning to understand the issues with version 1 and told the poor people answering the support emails to just say that it's not supported.
    I'm not particularly upset with them, as it is v1.0 of a free app. It's got plenty of other shortcomings. I was hoping that it would work somthat we could take advantage of the Amazon Prime stuff we're paying for without having to go out and buy another set top box or Blu-ray player that was compatible with their stuff.
    I would have gladly paid some money for a well designed app. Wish they had gone that route.

  • HDMI Support  and Amazon Instant Video for iPhone 4s

    Hello.
    1.) Does the Apple Digital AV adapter work well (MD098ZM/A) with iPhone 4S?
    2.) I know Amazon Instant Video supports iPad, how about iPhone 4S?
    Thanks!

    This is like the holy grail of iPhone functionality. It is technically possible but doesn't fit Apple's (and/or Amazon's) business model, so will probably never see the light of day for that reason alone.

  • How to display amazon instant video on a tv

    I am trying to project an Amazon Prime movie from the Amazon Instant video App on my ipad to my TV.
    I am using this cable and connecting through an HDMI cable.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a
    I can see the iPad on the tv UNTIL the movie actually starts and then the tv screen goes blank. We can hear the movie through the tv, but the video is just gone. I can watch other apps and play games that project on the tv.
    Does anyone know how I can get the video to display on my tv from the amazon instant streaming video app?
    I am using this app:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-instant-video/id545519333?mt=8
    Thanks.

    You don't. 
    Probably due to licensing they have disabled video out.

  • Anyway to play Amazon Instant Video from iMac to Apple TV?

    No that's not possible.

  • Amazon instant video

    Amazon.com Instant Video will no longer run on Google Chrome. I'm not sure if it's the fact that Chrome is not running Flash 11.6.602.168 or not, but Amazon tech support is insisting that the issue is not on their end, and that it has to be a Chrome or Adobe issue.

    Hello,
    Just chiming in to say that I am experiencing the same issues. 
    using Win 7, Firefox 19.0, Flash 11.6.602.168
    Tried the DRM fix listed above,
    Tried uninstalling Firefox and Flash, restarting Win 7, reinstalling Firefox and Flash
    Tried reinstalling display and my NVidia drivers.
    Still getting "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    Also having problems on Chrome.
    Some troubleshooting threads suggest to go to chrome://plugins and disable the chrome flash player.
    When i disable the chrome flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, I get the "Sorry we were unable to stream this video" message.
    When i disable the system flash player and try to play an amazon instant video, the video plays but 'stutters.'  The audio is fine, but the video alternately pauses and plays for a second or two over and over again.
    AIV works just fine on my iPad.
    For everyone viewing, please take 30 secs to create an account and let Adobe know that their product is causing problems for your Amazon service.
    This needs to get fixed asap!
    Thanks

  • Amazon Instant Video - 65L7350U

    I have just got a 65L7350 3D Smart TV, comes with some applications I was particularly looking for Skype but the smart TVs that I looked at had the option to download more apps, this TV has already Netflix also, I am looking for the Amazon Instant Video app and I can't find a way to download it, does anybody know how I can do????

    Does your SKYPE work on the Toshiba Smart TV 65L7350U?  Every time I run my Skype app it crashes the TV, and locks the screen to black, and escape to the Cloud page is the only way to get it to go away.  Skype tries to sign in, but every time it gets 2-3 seconds past the login for Skype, BLACK SCREEN.  Toshiba support has said it is a SKYPE problem, and not a TV problem.  Not sure what to do.
