Can't play rented movie through quick time player

i've rented a movie and can't watch it with quick time? Isn't this possible or am I forgetting something?

I suspect you have to use iTunes as it manages the authentication of your rental.

  • Playing DivX movies in Quick Time Player 7 Pro in WinVista 64-bit

    Hello everyone,
    I am just a new comer here and recently purchased iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
    I would like to know how I can convert DVD movies and DivX Movies to iPod movies version.
    I just upgraded QuickTimePlayer to Pro, some movies can be converted and played but all DivX movies cannot be played. The DivX movies are lack of graphic and the Player asks about the third component which is DivX Codec.
    The DivX Player I have right now is Pro and DivX codec is installed in my laptop.
    What should I do to play the DivX Movies in QuickTime Player and convert them to iPod Movies?
    I also would like to ask about MPEG-2 Component. What is it for? and I am wondering if
    I should purchase MPEG-2 component for QuickTime Player 7 Pro to have DVD playing with the player and to be able to convert DVD movies into iPod Touch Movies?
    Does it really work?
    Can anyone help me?
    I am looking forward to hearing from you all.
    Thank you very mcuh.
    Edmond

    I am not an expert in codecs, but I bought the software Amadis DVD to ipod convertor, and it works fine.
    It allows you to convert full DVD or even single-video files (AVI, MPEG, etc), and suggest you the codecs required (if you do not have them installed).
    I really suggest you this software.

  • Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later."

    Can't play rented movies.  They appear to download OK and the timer accurately reports days remaining to watch.  But whenever I try to play the movie I get this message, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.". Have been using the Apple TV for 2 weeks and everything else seems to work OK.  The Apple TV reports its SW is up to date.  I've tried this with two movies rented frim iTunes directly from the Apple TV.

    If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
    Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning.

  • Itunes will not play movies... To play this movie install quick time

    I downloaded itunes on a new computer and it won't play movies.  It keeps giving me the error "This movie requires Quick Time which is not included in this version of itunes.  To play this movie install quick time."  I've installed Quick Time, uninstalled it, installed it again, tried a change and repair trick that I read about but nothing has worked...please anybody help.

    Okay ... that's left the field a bit open.
    Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
    Quit iTunes first.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    Open the "Program files" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message?

  • HT1657 Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

    Can i play rented movies on my ipad being offline?

    The answer appears to be "maybe". Once the rental has completely downloaded it shouldn't need an Internet connection from then on, but I've seen reports here from people who tried the play the rental and has it insist on an Internet connection. I've never been able to spot any common factor between such reports to form an opinion as to why this happens, though it's possible that the movie hadn't really completely downloaded. But I'd advise not presuming that an Internet connection won't be necessary.
    Someone else here may have better insight into the issue.
    Regards.

  • How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player?  (Progress bar button broken?)

    It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked.  A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window.  The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button.  The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
    Is it my progress bar that's broken?  I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5.  Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
    Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
    [Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work.  Any ideas what happened?  My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

    You need to convert the AVI file to MP4.  Here is just one of the many converters available (via Google) http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/oca/mp4-converter?gclid=CJnqnpaF37gCFc fJtAod8RUAeg

  • Can't play rented movie

    I tried to move my rented movie back to my computer. Near the end of the sync, it could not complete because an unknown error. Can still see on my ipod touch but can't play because it now states invalid. What should I do? I still would like to watch my movie.

    Did you get an answer to this issue? I have the exact same problem ... can't play movie on my Ipod touch ... says "INVALID" .. and "movie could not be played" ... if you received an answer, please let me know ... am interested to hear about that ...
    ... thanks!

  • How can I play my ipad through my dvd player

    How an I play my ipad music through my dvd player or hi fi?

    If you're just looking to play audio, the easiest way is to buy an AirPort Express and connect your stereo to the miniplug jack, then play using AirPlay. That's how I do it! And as an added bonus, it can extend your wireless network.

    An AppleTV would work too, if you're also looking to stream video.

    As long as it has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline

  • Can't play rented movies

    Why won't my movie download after I purchase it

    I'd Start by unplugging the Apple TV and restarting the router, but it could also be a network problem.

  • HT3775 Quick Time player does not support AVI movies?

    I can't play an AVI movie on quick time player. Why?

    If you cant play it in QuickTime, then another media player may be more successful. A couple of good options that generally pick up where QuickTime falls short are VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) and MPlayer OS X Extended (http://www.mplayerosx.ch).

  • Quick Time Player Confusion!

    I am confused.
    In SL, every time I right click a movie file, whatever the format, and select "open with" I get a drop down menu headed:
    Quick Time Player Launcher (default).
    What is this?
    Below this are listed the other players I have installed (VLC, DivX, RealPlayer, iTunes) INCLUDING Quick Time Player 10.
    Is Quick Time Player 10 different from Quick time Player Launcher? It has a different icon in the drop-down list, Quick Time Player 10 Launcher has the default icon. Quick Time Player 10 has an icon I chose for it to assist in my distinguishing between the two (or is it one?) application/s.
    In my applications folder there is Quick Time Player 10, but no Quick Time Player Launcher.
    And when I select Quick Time Player Launcher from said drop-down list..... Quick Time Player 10 launches!
    But, and here's the really confusing part, ALL the movie players I have installed are listed in that drop-down list EXCEPT Quick Time Player 7.
    Now, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer Quick Time Player 7.
    However, if I want to open a movie using Quick Time Player 7 I have to go to the bottom of the drop-down list, select Other, and navigate through my Applications to reach it.
    How do I add Quick Time Player 7 to my drop-down list?
    Better still, how do I make Quick Time Player 7 my default movie player?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    QT player launcher is an application helper sitting inside QT player 7 which launches QT player 10. you should not see it in the open with menu. it's a known bug that you do see it. but it should not affect the functionality. if it does then reset your launch services database. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist and run the following terminal command
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    note that this will reset all default programs set to open various file types to the defaults so you might have to change some afterward.

  • HT1657 I try to play my rented movie but I get a message saying the movie requires Quick Time which is not supported?

    I try to play my rented movie but I get a message sayin the movie requires Quick Time (which I have) which is not supported by this version of itunes.  What Am I doing wrong?

    Thank you, I think we are close  but this hasn't worked since the instructions per the document call for a selection of File>get into, which does not come up as a "bold" choice and is therefore not accessible, at least on my computer.  It sounds like we are on the right track but I am not able to follow the instructions since the choices, as outlined in the article, are not chosable on my menu.  Not sure what the problem is?
