Dark Knight Digital Copy doesn't run on iPod 5G

I recently purchased the Blu-Ray version of the Dark Knight (fantastic by the way), and thought that it would be great to be able to watch it on the go on my ipod. The 2-disc (well, really 3-disc including the digital copy) included a CD called Digital Copy. I put it into my Mac. I opened iTunes, clicked "Dark Knight" in the Devices list, and I entered my Redeem code.
After around 5 minutes, the movie downloaded successfully, and I was able to play it on my computer. I noticed that the resolution was 853x480, but I still synced it to my iPod.
I ejected my iPod, then on my iPod, went to Video->Movies->Dark Knight. After a few seconds, a loading screen comes up (a spinning object, really) and then it takes me back to my Movies menu.
How can I get my iPod to play the movie? If resolution is indeed the issue, how can I scale the video down to playable size? What IS a suitable resolution??
Thanks in advance,
-SB

The Digital Copy of Dark Knight is encoded and provided via a proprietary player. The resulting file that you downloaded from their site is NOT iTune or Quicktime compatible. It won't play in Quicktime Player, in iTunes nor will you be able to sync it to an iPod.
Nor can you convert the resulting file to a Quicktime or iTune compatible file (.mp4). Warner Bros has evidently taken great pains to keep this digital movie file within a encrypted format.
(I am writing this from experience. I too thought I could download and view the Dark Knight Digital Copy on my iPod. Once I read the fine print, I didn't even bother to download it.)
sorry to burst any bubbles out there.

  • HELP! My Dark Knight digital copy wont work!

    Hi guys! I know i'm a little late on this, but i got my dark knight blu-ray disk on christmas of 2008, and i never got around to using the digital copy disk on my mac to put it on my Ipod, until today...So once i popped the disk in it came up on itunes and i typed in the redeem code, and it all worked. Once the download was finished, however i clicked on it in my movies section in my itunes, and all that appears is a gray screen for the entire movie! I put it on my ipod and all that appeared was a black screen, then after a few seconds, kicked me back to my movies list.
    Anyone know how to resolve this problem?
    any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem, it won't work, it gets completed and then gives me an error message saying I don't have a network connection or something dumb, I wish it would work...tried multiple times and it doesn't work.

  • 3G iPhone + Dark Knight Digital Copy

    I bought the Dark Knight two disc edition and extracted the Digital Copy into my iTunes Library. I've tried to sync it to my iPhone, but it doesn't seem to want to... I've added it to a playlist as well as checked the box for it in the Video tab. Does anybody know if Warner Bros excluded the iPhone from Digital Copy playback? Maybe I'm missing a step?
    Thanks!

    I have the original iPhone and was able to transfer my digital copy of the Dark Knight to my iTunes Library and then sync it to my iPhone. It did take up a lot of memory as the film is 2hours and 32 minutes long. I suggest you try playing (a bit)it in iTunes first then trying to sync it again, as suggested.

  • Dark Knight Digital Copy - Transfers but doesnt play

    Got my blu ray copy of Dark Knight and it came with a iTunes compatible digital copy.
    Used my code and synced to my iPod Nano. It shows up on the iPod but it doesnt play at all. On iTunes it plays without any sound or picture though......
    Any thoughts or advice?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem - no digital copies are playing (tried Hulk & all 3 X-Men) but other movies play fine including one with "the same" codec. Apple wasn't able to solve it (not "their problem"
    as other movies play fine), and Fox/Universal/Marvel just don't care as it's not happening to everyone. Best guess is it's a compatibility issue between certain systems/software. Yeah, I know, that's real helpful. I tried reloading latest iTunes/Quicktime/system updates & the movies - no effect. Tried erasing the "AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext" as suggested in another thread - no effect.
    Stuck now with a lot of motivation to pirate stuff rather than paying only to get nothing.

  • Anyone having problems with "The Dark Knight" digital copy?

    I downloaded the digital copy of "The Dark Knight" onto itunes by using a redeem code that came with the dvd set. The movie downloaded, but when I try to watch it there is no picture or sound even though the timer is activated. I emailed itunes support and they told me to uninstall then reinstall itunes, quicktime, and other apple software. I followed their instructions, but the movie still plays with no picture or sound. Anyone have similar problems? Or a solution?

    im having the same trouble with a digital copy of star trek i just keep getting a grey screen no audio or visual.
    ive just had a good scroll through some off the answered questions one thing you could try is deauthorizing your computer form itunes and then reauthorizing it. hopefully this should work for u.

  • I can't download my Dark Knight digital copy.

    When I downloaed it for the first time it said that I have downloaded 1.67GB out of 1.67GB but the blue bar was still moving like it was still downloading, I went to my movies and couldn't play it. I then exited itunes to try again and I tried again but this time it wouldn't download at all. I even uninstalled itunes and redownloaded the setup and I'm still having the same problem. What is going on here? Will I ever get my digital copy?

    If you go to Settings do you see an entry for the Nike app? There is no way to delete or hide that app?
    Have you tired using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.
    Next would be to restore a gain. First from backup then next to factory settings/new iPod.
    The Nike app you can download/install
    Nike+ Running for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store
    Does work on the iPOd. You just do not get all the information that GPS/cellular connection can get. You will still be able to get distance/footstrikes like the installed app an you do not need the shoe sensor.. It uses the built-in sensors on the iPod

  • Dark Knight digital download NOT in DD 5.1, only stereo?

    Wasn't sure where else to post this, but my Bluray copy of the Dark Knight included a digital copy of the movie. I downloaded it through iTunes, expecting it to be in 5.1 surround sound for my AppleTV2, but it is just stereo. Other digital downloads are in 5.1, like Black Swan and Inception.
    Have others noticed this?
    Does one have to BUY the movie through iTunes to get the 5.1 surround sound?
    Thanks for any responses.
    Mike

    The file will have two audio tracks, a stereo one and an AC3 one, the tv will only play the stereo one but will pass the AC3 audio to anything capable of playing it through either HDMI or optical output. If you aren't getting 5.1, either your equipment doesn't support it or you have it connected improperly.
    If the file simply has 6 channel AAC then you will need equipment that will play that, most receivers won't play 6 channel AAC, so you may only hear stereo if this is the case.

  • Disney File Digital Copy - Doesn't Work!

    This is just to share my frustration with Apple's lousy customer service and this faulty technology so others experiencing the problem don't waste their time troubleshooting a problem on their computer when it's clearly Apple's problem.
    I purchased The Nightmare Before Christmas with the Disney File Digital Copy included, just so I could copy the movie to my iPhone. I already owned a copy of this on DVD, this was the only reason why I purchased it.
    I placed the CD in my drive, filled out the information it asked for, and it opened iTunes. I was prompted for the code and typed it in, and immediately got "Sorry, the iTunes store is currently unavailable, please try again later".
    I tried accessing other parts of the itunes store and everything else worked fine, just not this part. I called Apple customer care and the first person had me copy the movie from the DVD to the desktop and then try changing the extension and importing it. When that didn't work he transfered me to iTunes support. They insisted there was nothing wrong with the itunes store and it had to be my computer or firewall. I bypassed the firewall and connected directly to the cablemodem, still nothing.
    They asked me to try another computer so I did. When I tried another computer, instead of the message that I can't connect to the itunes store, I got a message saying the code was already used, which was farther than I got before. At that point I was told the problem is software related on my computer and they gave me a new key to try once I figure out my software problem. I was highly skeptical that this was the cause, but decided to just wipe out my HD and install Windows from scratch and iTunes ONLY. When I attempted to activate the new code, guess what.. the SAME THING! It said the code was activated already! By that time support was closed so I had to call them back the next day.
    I call them back, explain the situation, they then tell me to try it again tomorrow. I said "Why? Is there a known issue that will be resolved tomorrow?", their response was "There's no known issue, but you should try it again tomorrow." I responded, "If there isn't a known issue, then why the **** should I wait yet another day just to get the same error again and have to call back and wait another 45 minutes to speak to someone!?"
    Their response? "I can't tell you that there's a known issue, all I can say is you can try it again tomorrow"
    So clearly.. they're either trying to get people off the phone regardless of whether their issue has been resolved or not, or they know about the issue but in true Apple fashion they won't admit to it. When I complained further, I was told they were going to escalate the issue and I would receive two emails.. one from the person I was speaking with, and one from the person they escalated the issue to. I've yet to receive that 2nd email and I have wasted over 20 hours trying to watch a movie THAT I PAID FOR and can't due to Apple's crappy technology.
    Lets see how long this message lasts on Apple's forum before they delete it..
    -One ****** off customer.

    yup...just bought it....same problem. its amazing b/c i hear the same things about apple and their lack of acknowledging that there is a problem. i think they are told to say that b/c they want people to know how "awesome" their product is and not bad mouth it themselves. granted there are a lot of good things that outweigh the bad. its just that their support ***** bigtime and one hopes that one day they will realize to have better support in the future. i just hope they fix it quickly b/c dumbasses like me love the apple franchise and hopefully one day they will cater to us a little better when the fit hits the shan. either that or i hope one day they reap what they sow. this is ridiculous that it took me like 5 searches to find a decent thread addressing the problem. a better search engine perhaps?
    all i know is in the future i hope they adress the problem a little better than this "wait and see" technique. i wanted to get this on the ipod....sigh....FIX UR PROBLEMS APPLE!!!!!! cripes...... F*!!!!

  • Digital copy doesn't work

    I'm trying to load my ipad with some movies with digital copies but it's not working, I'm getting a message "You do not have enough access priveleges for this action".
    Once loaded the movie title is in grey text and can't be moved from my library to the ipad.

    I'd look on the site for the owner of your digital copies and troubleshoot there. Some of them, for example, are only allowed on one device at a time or one computer at a time. You may be running into digital rights management issues for your copies.

    Error (-69) keeps popping up when I try to transfer the digital copy of transformers to my ipod. Everything is updated and it successfully downloaded to my library but I've done what I've read about error (-69) and I am still having problems. I've never had a problem with purchases from itunes before and I don't know what to do. The Apple website doesn't help and if anyone has had the same problem and figured it out please help me. I would appreciate it, thanks.

  • TS1292 digital copy for The Lone Ranger the code in the box doesn't work

    The code inside redeem digital copy doesn't work

    An odd thing about the Copy To feature is that you can use it to add any article to any folio. For example, you can add an iPhone article to an iPad folio, but you'll end up having to remove that article if you want to preview it or publish it. In your case, it looks like you added a 1024x768 article to a 2048x1536 folio.
    Using the "Add" feature isn't an effective method for building apps. I recommend setting up your files for import. See this article:
