Can't play digital copy from blu-ray titles on iTunes 9.0.2.25?

I tried to download and watch the digital copy of Star Trek that is included with my Blu-ray. It prompted me to enter my authorization code then had me log into the iTunes store. It seemed to download the movie fine (the download progress bar filled). When I tried to play the movie, it just brought up a gray window with no picture or audio. The progress bar and time indicator seemed to progress properly. The chapter selection menu showed the correct thumbnail pics. But there was only the gray screen with the control panel buttons on the bottom.
Trying to sync with my iTouch told me it was not copied to my iTouch because I am not authorized to play it on this computer?
I tried the same with Wathchmen with the same results. I was able to view the movie fine with the Windows Media version of the digital copy.
I'm running Windows XP Pro. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I use the 32-bit version but noticed the same behavior. I found that if I started iTunes from the Start Menu I could right-click the icon on the Taskbar and selected Pin to Taskbar. Worked perfectly with full Win7 integration.
As you know, the pin function prior to 9.0.2.25, allowed pinning from a shortcut. I've found other anomalies also so I wouldn't be surprised if a newer update will be pushed out soon.

Will digital copies from blu-rays stream on apple tv in full hd?

Will my iTunes digital copies from blu-rays stream on the new apple tv in full hd? I have some right now on my apple tv 2 that stream from the cloud but do not appear to be in 720p. Can someone help me clarify?

It probably depends on the specific digital copy, but all of the ones I've ever gotten have been SD, not HD, I would guess that the movie studio expects you to play the Blu-Ray disk if you want HD and so provides SD for portable devices.
Regards.

I would like to play music from my iPhone 5 on the speakers attached to my computer at work. I don't have the authority to download itunes onto the computer. Can I play the music from the phone without having itunes on the computer?

Can I play my music from external hard drive through itunes?

If this is possible How would a (NEW TO iMac) user do this? Otherwise if that is not possible, how do you export music files from a seagate external hard drive to itunes.

Expanding Niel's answer a bit...
in iTunes, go to iTunes->Preferences->Advanced and insure that "Copy files..." is NOT checked. Then you can add all your music to your iTunes library by dragging the parent folder into the "library" window at the upper left (if you're using iTunes 11, do View->Show sidebar first). You can also do "File->Add to library...".

1080p downloads from Blu Ray digital copies available?

I have a number of digital copies from Blu Rays I've purchased, and I'm curious if I can redownload them in 1080p.
So far, after removing them and redownloading them from the Cloud on my MacBook, the answer is no.
For example, I tried to do this with Star Trek, which is definitely available in HD. If I remove the movie and try to redownload it, it only downloads in SD.
I set my store preferences to download in 1080p when available as well.
Is doing what I'm trying to do undoable? I'd really like to update my digital copies to HD versions now that they're available.

This seems a common problem. I have the latest iTunes; got Night at the Museum; redeemed code and straight away got this same error. I de-authorised this account and reauthorised and it worked. Not sure that I have to do this each time, but hopefully iTunes bug fix is coming...

But thanks for your help and advice
If you do the Apple Device compression from the original movie file, it will be a relatively "light" size and will retain more quality than if you somehow get the files off of the Blu Ray disk and then recompress. Also, if you're archiving in iTunes, make sure that library is being backed up to some drive other than your start-up (boot) drive. If the only purpose in bring them into iTunes is archiving, I would save the space and skip iTunes…save the Apple Device movies to a folder in an external drive

HT204370 If I buy a movie on iTunes and burn it to a DVD can I get to to play in a DVD/Blu-ray player? I haven't had much luck trying to do so.

No you cannot.
You can only make a backup dvd of your movies, fo use in itunes on yur computer. You cannot burn a video product to dvd to watch on a dvd player, just as you cannot copy a dvd that you purchase.

Trying to Create DVD from Blu-Ray Project

I'm a fairly new user to Encore CS4.   I was able to successfully create a Blu-Ray project using HD video - the actual video is a little over 3 hours.   It took about 30 hours for the project to transcode and burn.   I'm now trying to take that same project and created a single layer DVD.   I'm really struggling with this even though the software says I should be able to do this.    So I set all my settings up to create the DVD and started the process.   It was trancoding the video for 6 straight days!!!!!    When it finally got finished with the transcoding process I got an error that said this aspect ration was not supported by DVD!!!   So I'm confused at what I'm doing wrong.   First, I don't think the transcoding process should be taking that long.   Second, if the aspect ration is not correct, could it tell me that before it spends 6 days transcoding the video?    Third, I'm trying to burn the DVD using the same 16:6 widescreen aspect ratio, so I'm not sure why it's telling me the aspect ratio is not correct.    But what frustrates me the most is that it took wasted days before the software told me it didn't like the aspect ratio.
I know there's products on the market that will basically copy a Blu Ray to a DVD and are supposed to do that in something like 4 -5 hours. Why on earth would Encore be taking 6 days to transcode my video.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try these suggestions next. I had found a post from "janaiott" suggesting to select "interpret footage" then choose "conform to SD NTSC Widescreen".   They said that worked for them.   This post was titled "Use the same project to export to both BR and DVD?"
I tried that and restarted the build. The video transcoding went much quicker - instead of running for 6 days it finished in 2 days.   However, at the end of the transcode process I once again recieved the aspect ratio error.   My exact error is:
PGD "Sequence 01/Band.prproj" has an error at 88.8888s. The aspect ratio of this file is not supported by DVD. - PGC info: Sequence 01/Band.prproj =Bpgc, time=88.8888s.
I'm still just baffled why Encore can't be smart enough to tell me it doesn't like what I'm doing before it spends all that time - what a waste of time! I really don't mind waiting 2 days as long it works
If anyone else has any suggestions, please post - but I will move on to the next suggestion and see what happens. Just too bad it will take at least 2 days to know whether it works or not

PAL versus NTSC will both play in a US blu-ray player/HDTV?

I'm sure I could test this and find out, but I'm sure someone has a quick answer. If my assets are 720 X 576 I have heard that Encore re-sizing will create some quality issues. Would I be better off just editing this in Premiere Pro and Saving in the same 720 X 576 format, burning it to a 25 gb Blu-Ray disk in Encore and then playing it in my Blu-Ray player as is, or would this not work and the asset would have to be re-sized to 720 X 480?

Hi.
A few things.
1 - PAL BluRay is frankly a mess. you cannot use 25p, only 50i and support is sporadic as it just is not in the BluRay specs.
2 - For universal BluRay, you must use either 60i, 30p or 24p for it to work on US/Japanese players.
3 - 720x576 is not BluRay spec - it is SD. Whilst you can use 720x576, it is not recommended as few players will cope with this.
You definitely do not want to scale this (upres) in Encore. Or PPro. It will look like a dogs dinner.
4 - Converting from PAL to NTSC involves more than scaling - the frame rate has to be altered from 25 to 29.97 (30 actually, but we're not talking about timecodes & drop/non drop frame counts now )
It needs to be done properly - Jeff Bellune has a superb tutorial on acheiving this with open source software at http://bellunevideo.com/tutlist.php
Hope this helps

IDVD CAN I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV ?

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP
CAN I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV BY CONNECTING IT SOME HOW ?

Hi
Does Your Mac have a S-video out ? Some does.
The way to connect isn't easy or straight forward - I use a S-VHS VCR in between
and now one can buy a DVD-player for less than $75-50 I wonder if it's really
worth the hazzle.
Playback from iMovie via FireWire and an Analog/Digital box to TV is one way
but then the DVD has to be converted to streamingDV.
iDVD can't deliver out to FireWire
DVD-player not so either
And PLEASE ! Don't shout (using capital letters = Shouting on e-media)

HT1689 Purchased iBooks from iBookstore, can I get a copy from Kendle bookstore for free

If I bought a from the iBookstore can I get a copy from the Kindle bookstore if they are identical books but do not work on both apps

Lol I get it know kinda, just was under the impression that the benefit of the digital book is that I can use it on multiple applications regardless of which company I buy the digital book from, because I've books only has limited fonts and text colors and stuff I think it would be nice to go to an app that has more tools, thanks for all the help guys you guys just another question you guys know if you can change the font colors in the new iBooks, I know I did get the background and everything but you know it would be nice to have read bond or green font is easier to read read or something like that.

I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay. The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay. The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive. I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
VLC Player may work.

Possibly nobody has answered this in 10 hours because your question is not clear. Accept? What exactly are you trying to do?
Do you mean authorize?

I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive. Can I get another copy from Apple?

I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive. Can I get another copy from Apple?

Quite possibly, at least assuming you are based in the US. Install the latest build of iTunes, sign into the iTunes Store and click the Purchased entry in the Quck Links panel. Here in the UK I only get tabs fro Apps and Books but, if I understand correctly, you should also get a tab for Music. Click on the Not in My Library button and you should be able to download your purchases again.
