Buy HD or standard from iTunes Store?

I intend to watch movies mostly on iPad and Apple TV2. I am trying to decide whether to purchase videos/movies from iTunes in standard or HD format. I assume standard format will be wholly sufficient for iPad. Will I see a noticeable difference on Apple TV? If I transcode the HD movie to mp4 using Handbrake, will it be much larger than if I transcode from a standard DVD? What format does the video come as when I buy it online from iTunes? Can I easily burn the downloaded movie to a DVD?
Thanks
Tom

If you purchase an HD show, you will also receive the SD version for your iPad/iPhone/iPod.
If I transcode the HD movie to mp4 using Handbrake,
You can't. It is DRM protected.

Assuming it's in a supported format (which is likely), simply sync your iPad to iTunes on your computer. Make sure you have specified that you would like to sync movies on the "movies" tab on the top right of the iTunes display (when your iPad is plugged in and its row highlighted).

you can't, unless you fulfill these requirements:
From the itunes store terms of service:
+to purchase from an iTunes Store in a particular country, you must have both a residential address and a billing address in that particular country. Items on any particular country's iTunes Store are available only for distribution to customers who use a credit card, debit card, iTunes Gift Certificate, or iTunes Gift Card issued in and for that country.+

Are the ones from the CD's on iTunes? You may just have to sync them over to the phone.

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
I don't know what happened but this is the results....
After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

Why is always cheaper to buy songs from HMV than from iTunes Store?

I really wish to know the reason why is always cheaper to buy the whole CD from HMV than downloading from iTunes Store.
Today I was looking for the Foo Fighters Greatest Hits... to buy it from iTunes Store will cost me £5,99, but the buy the proper CD itself from HMV with free delivery will cost me £3,99, about 40% cheaper than iTunes.
Another good example: 101 Running Songs Lap 2, iTunes Store: £13,99, HMV with free delivery: £7,99
The point is, Apple is not spending a penny when we download it, but to buy the CD itself, there are a whole lot of material included, the CD box, prints, the CD itself, plus P&P and is cheaper.
Something is wrong...

"PS: in this world, nobody do something without making profits. Apple do make a good money with iTunes Store.
http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/20100225/apple-billions-of-songs-billions-of-app s-not-much-profit/
Yes. They make a little money from itunes , but the majority are from sales of ipods/iphones/ipads/etc.
"Even at today’s hyper volume, the digital store is still running at “a bit over break-even,” the company reminded analysts during its earnings call last month."
A 99 cent song costs Apple approx. 80 cents from any the online reports that I have seen.
Apple pays for servers and bandwidth, instead of cd's.

How do I Download from Itunes store using the Apple Lossless format?

I use my music on a home sterio and import locally from CD's to Windows using the Apple Lossless format only, to achieve the Highest quality sound. However, When I buy from Itunes store I can only get AAC format, which is low quality. How can I get Itunes to give me only Apple Lossless format?
Your help will b e appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

I do agree with what i have been said. I am a musician, i think AAC is definitely medium-low quality. I bought this year lots of AAC 256 for Itunes. I have been surprised. SO many times i need to go to the equalizer to counter-balance the weakness of this file format.
I advise you to do the following. Import a CD using Apple LossLess and then import a CD using AAC 256. You will see a HUGE difference.
Now i start to buy CD again in order to get the music Quality. Then i import my CDs to Itunes using Apple LossLess (920Kbps). You will ear that on Snares and Rides. Bass will sound more natural. Bass, Medium, Sharp will more balance with each other. You will hear instruments with more clarity especially when there are a lot of instruments. Because of that, you will not need to raise up the volume.
But more than anything... you will gain VOLUME in your files.
In general over the internet all the online music stores including Itune doesn't provide HD quality. AAC 256 is not enough. A track bought over Itune Store should weight 30 megabytes, not 5. And then you would decide to compress it or not.

Can't update ipod with songs bought from itunes store

I buy songs from itunes store and can't get them on the ipod. they are on the itunes library just fine - just can't get them over to the ipod. Get the message "some of the tunes in the library were not copied because your ipod software is too old.... - but I have the up to date software on the ipod - I get the message - "your ipod software is up to date" - - too frustrating - I buy songs but can't get them on the ipod - - any suggestions??

Please help!!
For some reason yesterday, whilst browsing on iTunes, a computer error message came up and closed the site automatically..
After that, the computer 'froze' on me, so I had no other option than to run System Restore, which, after 2 hours, got my system up and running again, although I had JUST remembered at that point, that ALL files etc would be completely deleted.
I opened up iTunes and looked at my Library, and to my horror, I also hadn't originally thought about backing them up, as I knew they were all 'safely' on my iPod.
I have just tried this morning to 'try' to upload tracks from the iPod onto iTunes. I tried this, BUT, it has completely deleted the tracks off there as well - all 985 of them!!
Does anybody know WHETHER I will be able to recover all these tracks, short of contacting iTunes themselves?
I feel so awkward about it!! Any sensible advice would be appreciated!!

You can move your iTunes library.. Apple have explicit instructions to do it. If the library is moved to the TC and accessed over wireless, the efficiency of the whole system will drop dramatically..
A file you download goes.. Modem---TC--Laptop--Back to TC--Store on disk. Double looping the wireless slows it dramatically..
As far as using TC for your iTunes.. you CAN.. but SHOULD YOU?
Store files on the TC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
