Are the movie trailers accessed thru Apple TV in Dolby Digital?

BExcuse none of them show as being in Dobly Digital when I play them. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

On my Apple TV in the description for Skyfall, Life of Pi & The Birds it just shows 1080p & CC (no DD symbol) whereas Argo & Psycho shows 1080p DD & CC, I am just going by the film description on the screen before purchasing.  If the description doesn't show that little DD symbol, I assume it is not in Dolby Digital and likely not to give it buying consideration.

  • Why  are the movies $1 more on apple tv than itunes??

    i was looking on my itunes to day & saw the movies where cheaper on itunes, so why did i pay $129 for the apple tv when & can run my 4m hdmi in to my bravia ?????

    Just to clarify:
    Within the itunes store you can buy movies in:
    480p (standard def.)  = cheapest option
    720p (HD) = Generally $1 more (if available to download in the first place, as not all titles are avail in HD)
    1080p (HD) = Same price as 720p
    On an ATV, by default you only have the option to purchase movies in HD (at the prices noted above), provided an HD format is available in the first place.
    On an ATV-2, you cannot access 1080p rentals at any time (if you try a work around with itunes, you will be dissapointed...  https://discussions.apple.com/message/18013054#18013054)
    To access 1080p rentals within itunes, you must choose to download the higher stream (BUT FIRST)...
    -you must turn on 1080p downloads:
    1)open settings menu
    2) go to preferences
    3) click store
    4)change the default HD videos preference (shown below)

  • OK, so where are the movie trailers now?

    Link on the Movies section of the store no longer has a link to Theatrical Trailers.  Any ideas what's up??
    Seems like this has happened before but did not see any recent posts.

    Thanks so much for your help on this one. I'm so glad I asked this question because even though it's only 264MB in size at the moment, it could quite easily become GBs of unneeded data.
    It's a bummer that Snow Leopard doesn't have those preferences anymore. It seems that we're slowly losing control of the OS that we use every day. I also needed to manually delete automatically downloaded updates from Software Update that wasn't installed. They really should add an option to clear all these files from the system, rather than making us do it all manually.
    Anyway, thanks again for your help
    Regards,

  • The movie trailers via AppleTV are not up-to-date with trailers on Apple's web site... why?

    I love my Apple TV. I have no problems using it whatsoever. There's just this one issue.
    The movie trailers I see on AppleTV are not up-to-date with the movie trailers on Apple's web site. I'm hoping there is a user tweek that would resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Cheers,
    Adam

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I don't believe the trailers are from the same source, which would explain why they are not necessarily the same.

  • When are the movies available in Finland?

    When are the movies available in Finland?? I live in Finland and I think it is SO unfair not to have the same services because you live in a different country. I bought my Ipad to get movies and I CAN'T!!

    This is due to licensing and other issues in each country and the same applies to music. Some music sold via the iTunes store in the US is not available via the iTunes store in every country and the same via the iTunes store in every country where available.
    Apple has no control over this whatsoever.

  • What are the benefits of buying from Apple as opposed to other retail stores?

    What are the benefits of buying from Apple as opposed to other retail stores?

    You can buy from an Apple store, which has a 14 day return policy.
    You can buy on-line from Apple and get a new or refurb model (less $), and get engraving if you want it.
    Some retail stores have a more generous return (30 days?) policy.
    You can buy from an on-line Apple Authorized Reseller. I bought (with free shipping) mine from MacMall because I didn't have to pay sales tax. I paid with my American Express CC to get, for free, an additional 1 year warranty.
    Regardless of where you buy you still get the 30 day Apple Care and 1 year warranty. You can extend, for $, the Apple Care for 2 years. Or you can buy, for $, Apple Care +, which provides accidential damage repair insurance. There's also some 3rd party sources to buy the accidential insurance.
    Some retail stores and on-line stores offer a small discount or add a bonus item.
    It's your choice. Find the best deal.

  • What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices?

    What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices? I would like to get some good speakers to be used with my iPod, iPhone and iPad. Ideally, they should be able to play using AirPlay and be quite powerful, but with a good design if possible.
    I am particularly interested in the Fidelio range of speakers by Philips.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Best is going to be a matter of opinion.  What environment are the speakers going to be used in? How large is the room? What type of music are you going to play? What features/functions would you like in the speakers? What price range are you looking for?  All of these are going to effect which speakers will best fit your needs.

  • Disappointing - Apple TV Lacks Dolby digital

    It is disappointing that apple tv lacks dolby digital sound. What is the point of watching a home theater movie in High Def without DD 5.1 They need to resolve this issue to be successful IMHO. Any other thoughts?

    Supposedly the hardware of the Apple TV is capable of Dolby Digital and 5.1 (or even 7.1) surround sound. That is it will pass through such signals to the optical out.
    The real problem is that QuickTime (and remember the Apple TV is running Mac OS X and QuickTime) has very poor to no support for such 'high end' audio standards.
    Yes you can pass a 5.1 encoded audio file in WAV format (or possibly AIFF format) to the Apple TV and it will then pass it unaltered to the optical out, which is connected to your AV Receiver and you will get surround sound. But WAV and AIFF are audio only standards, you cannot use them for movies.
    The nearest you can currently get for video in QuickTime is to have 6 AAC channels in a H.264 file. However very few AV Receivers support this sort of audio.
    Basically QuickTime is the problem, and until it has much better support for Dolby Digital etc. there is absolutely no point improving the movie files on the iTunes Store since QuickTime (and hence Apple TV) will not be able to play them. Even the QuickTime MPEG2 component is no better.
    Interestingly, Front Row 2.0 in Leopard now has the ability to play VIDEO_TS folders (via the Apple DVD Player framework). This means you can in Front Row play surround sound and even subtitles for 'movies' stored in VIDEO_TS folders on your hard disk (that have been ripped from DVD). This works because Front Row is using DVD Player and not using QuickTime.
    Note: QuickTime even QuickTime 7.2 in Leopard has for all intents no support for subtitles either.
    All the above makes a Mac mini running Front Row a much better solution than an Apple TV (although much more expensive).
    Apple really need to fix surround sound and subtitle support in QuickTime urgently, even Windows Media Player does a better job!!
    I did read an article recently decrying Apple (and others) for leading to demise of 'audiophile' quality. That is the proliferation of MP3 and other compressed formats over CD quality sound (I personally use Apple Lossless which is CD quality). Likewise currently Apple TV and iTunes force the downgrading from movies with digital surround sound to merely old fashioned stereo.

  • Some movie trailers here at Apple have audio only

    I posted this on the G4 Mac PowerPC forum here and statistically speaking there are enough G4/G5 computers that posters are replying they experience a similiar problem in only hearing audio (not seeing video) with certain move trailers. Perhaps I should post this in a Safari forum here too if one exists.
    The link to my post in the G4 forum is
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1097114&tstart=0
    p.s. I'm using 10.4.10 which isn't reflected in my info at link above

    the reason i supplied the link above to the G4 forum was to show that other users also couldn't see the video in Safari - while true other browsers [like Firefox] have no problem with it. One of my points is that even after updating Safari to the most recent beta version for G4 it still won't show video (only one can hear audio) - which in my opinion could be interpreted as unacceptable as the trailer is on the Apple Quicktime site yet users report they can't view the video with Safari but can with Firefox [the irony]. Apple should look into this if they are reading this thread [and find a fix] because a Safari user should be able to view the video of a trailer they [Apple] post on their own site without having to use a third party browser like Firefox.
    for expedience the link is:
    http://www.apple.com/trailers/thinkfilm/intheshadowofthemoon/trailer/
    p.s. I am not complaining about this being a problem with "just" this trailer. I am complaining because more and more trailers like this one at QT site are like this [and I'm not on an island on my own in experiencing this].

  • Where are the Movie Rentals??

    I see promotions that say there are over 1000 movies to rent.
    When doing the "Power" search and click on to Movie available for rent, I only get 150 movies. It has been that way since the Keynote in January.
    If there are 1000 movies for rent, where are they?

    Movie Rentals??!?!?!?! Apple has movie rentals???!?!!!? BAH!!!!
    renting movies/games just isn't my style. i guess it's a good commercial move for them. though with the prices Apple charges for their products, i really don't see how they needed to upgrade to that format for profitability...
    will the DL's of Rental/Purchase have all the Extras DVD's will have? that's what i require....anyone see it?

  • Syncing 5th generation ipod but where are the movies?

    After syncing my 5th generation ipod video to get recently bought movies, I can't seem to see the movies, TV shows or music videos when I disconnect the ipod from the computer. Is there a setting or something I'm suppose to do or am I missing something?
      Windows XP  

    Hi There,
    I think it could be one of 2 things. In itunes (7.1.1) when you plug in your ipod and the summary screen for the ipod appears got to the movies tab and make sure the 'sync movies' box is ticked also below this it should say 'all movies'. Do the same for TV Shows tab. This should help http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304708
    Or on your ipod go to settings>mainmenu>and make sure movies or tv shows are set to 'on' they will then show in the main screen of your ipod.
    Jeff could be right, but I thought the music was still syncing ok.
