How to ensure iTunes download in blu-ray combo pack?

When purchasing a blu-ray combo pack, how can you determine if the digital copy will be honored by the iTunes Store? Is there a certain logo to look for? I am seeing less packs with the actual iTunes logo. The words "works with iTunes" is meaningless since that might mean they expect you to copy a file from their web site into iTunes OR add an extension to iTunes. I'm looking for some way to ensure the code in the combo pack is REDEEMABLE from the iTunes Store.
Prior to every other provider popping up, I would always purchase the blu-ray combo pack before buying the download directly from iTunes. After getting burned a few times by mediocre companies with proprietary downloads I stopped buying discs altogether. With over 1,000 owned movies from iTunes, countless purchased TV seasons, eight AppleTV devices, and multiple iPads and iPhones, I really do not want to move away from Apple.
Thanks, in advance.

Wow, you're locked into the Apple ecosystem!
Here's how to tell:
If it says "Digital Copy", then it's iTunes compatible. Usually, you have to go to the Film Distributor's website, enter the code, then it passes you iTunes for download. Sometimes it's just copying from a DVD to your hard drive (which you can then use in iTunes).
If it says "Ultraviolet Digital", you're not going to be able to use it in iTunes. I've not seen any that are just Ultraviolet.
See this link at Amazon. It has links to each of the major studios, all of which have slightly different rules and policies.

How to delete Itunes downloads permenatly

If they have not finished downloading yet, you can either let them finish and the right click on the file and select delete or contact Apple support to have them remove the file from your download queue. I've contacted them in the past to have this done and they have no problem doing this. Contact Apple by clicking on support at the top of the forum and then clicking on contact us on the page that opens.
If you want to delete shows or songs from iTunes, right click on one and select delete.

How do HD Movies off Itunes Compare to Blu-Ray quality?

I bought a video card for my PC that has an HDMI output for my 1080 50" TV. I highly value a quality picture. My question is; how does the picture of an iTunes downloaded HD movie compare to a Blu-Ray movie played off a Blu-Ray player?

Thats what I needed to know! Now I won't bother wasting my time/money.

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...

How to program Sony RMT-VB100U Blu-Ray remote to control Vizio TV

I want to eliminate some remote controls...I have a Vizio TV and want to turn it on/off and adjust volume via my fancy little Blu-Ray remote Sony RMTV-B100U that came with my BDPS3500, BUT the pre-programmed brands do not include Vizio. How do I make this remote work with the Vizio, or am I just screwed and need to buy a tool belt to carry all these ****** remotes around? I'm not buying a universal remote when I have plenty of remotes that should do the job.

Hi nphiker,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
The supplied remote " RMT-VB100U " is not a universal remote control. However, you can control some televisions which is not a Sony TV. Please refer to the link below on page 44 for the supported TVs.

ITunes caused my Blu-ray drive to be hidden

Hi,
I recently brought my Windows 7 computer in for repair because my Blu-Ray drive became hidden while watching one of my movies. The tech support guy said that iTunes was the culprit because it makes changes to the registry for burning CD's... So he told me just to reinstall iTunes. The only problem now is that when I reinstalled iTunes, I get the error message that the registry settings are missing. What do I do?

It'll most likely be a conflict in the device filters in your registry. The following document is a good place to begin with that sort of troubleshooting:

Any one know how to use TouchSmart 600-1055 blu-ray to output to TV?

I just bought TouchSmart 600-1055 with blu-ray today. Any one know how to output video and audio to larger TV?

If it is anything like the 600-1265qd, you may need to purchase a USB adapter to connect to a DVI or HDMI port on the TV. However, there are no HDCP-compatible USB connectors...

How to stop iTunes downloading apps to macbook

I have just bought my first iPad (mini) and have used iTunes for syncing music and books.
Have also bought some apps.
Today when I turned iTunes on in my Macbook it accesses the iTunes store as normal but now a screen comes up and it is downloading all the apps I have bought for the iPad onto the mac (presumably).
As I am on a very limited broadband allowance with a 3G network I would like to stop this happening..
I have disable automatic downloading in the store tab of the preference pane but still downloading everytime I open iTunes..
I can't see anything to make it stop happening on the iTunes download screen that pops up all I can do is pause the downloads , which start up again as soon as I open iTunes next time.
My iPad is just Wi-fi not cellular too.
Thanks

this is what is supposed to happen, and is by design.
I am continuously frustrated by this "design." My iTunes machine is a MacBook that does not have nearly as much disk capacity as the ATV. So consequently my MacBook disk is full backing up my ATV. This is ridiculous. Apple ought to figure out how to let the Time Capsule be the backup for the ATV and not the iTunes machine.
Poor design if you ask me.
the appletv is an itunes extender, and as such of course it needs to connect to itunes.
the storage location of your data is irrelvant really. you can have it on a time machine, however you still need itunes to manage the content.
if this is not suitable for you, then you most likely have bought the wrong device for your needs.

How long should itunes download take on new computer with windows 7 64 bit ie8?

I bought a new computer and need to sync my iphone with it. I'm getting a msg that it has 17+ hrs left to download itunes......seems too long and wonder what I'm doing wrong. thx.

Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

How do I make interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion?

So, adobe doesn't support Encore anymore which means I can't use dynamic link to AE to create interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion.... or can I? Is there something I'm doing wrong? While in Encore, I go to dynamic link and boom, dynamic link to AE is not highlighted. If I can't make an interactive menu with motion using adobe, then what can I use? This is causing a major problem for me and my clients. (if i over looked the answer to this in another post, my apologies)

You can use the "Create After Effects Composition." This prompts you to create an independent version of the Encore PSD menu file, and opens the layered file in AE CC and creates a new composition with appropriate settings. AE no longer has mpeg export, so you export from AE to AME.
There were some workflow options that I did not play with much, but they were never what I saw as the basics for using AE to create the motion background.
You need to understand these two help pages:
Adobe Encore * Menu timing and looping

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/encore/cs/using/WSA5513911-0AD1-440c-BDAD-2E0E806B425E.html
I'm not sure what you mean by "interactive" unless you just mean creating navigation.

How to get better resolution on Blu-ray (1080/60i)

I'm experimenting with my new AG-AC160A camcorder and have been shooting youth hockey games in AVCHD mode, 1080/60i, 1/120 shutter, manual gain and white balance set appropriately, and florescent scene file setting due to lighting in rink. I have PP CS5 and am disappointed with the relative lack of HD-crispness when the Blu-ray output is played on my HD LED set. I used the above settings based on recommendations I saw in the forum somewhere. Any suggestions on what I can try differently? Thank you.

To elaborate on Ann's great advice, the Sequence preset you should be using is AVCHD 1080i30 (60i).
A good way to start out with the correct sequence is to import your clips and then drag one onto the "New Item" icon at lower right of Project Bin. This will create a new sequence to match the source material automatically. As Ann mentioned, you have a non-HD preview format, so if you rendered the timeline to green, and checked "Use Previews" on the final export, then your Blu-ray could have "SD quality" footage in it!!
Curious why the 1/120 shutter, hoping to get better action motion?
If you have a current timeline using the incorrect settings, go ahead and add a NEW Sequence with correct settings, open original sequence and "Select All" which is CRTL + A, then CTRL + C to Copy. Then go to the proper AVCHD sequence and Ctrl + V to Paste entire contents. You will now have the edited sequence moved into correct sequence settings. Now use Export and in AME choose "H.264 Blu-ray" and choose the 1080i preset and export, then use results in Encore. The Blu-ray should look excellent when done correctly.
When exporting from AME, do NOT check the box for "Use Previews", as you want to encode direct from original source and skip any intermediate render clips.

How to read an arborescence of blu-ray files ?

Hi,
I don't have a bluray reader, but I was wondering if I could read blu-ray files with a software, maybe VLC ?
Sincerely

I didn't mean read a disc, only files, the same that are on the disc but on my HD.
You still need a Blu-ray drive. You won't be able to watch Blu-ray movies, but OS X will be able to read data files (and write data and movie Blu-ray discs with Toast).

How to burn slide show to Blu-ray DVD ?

I've burned a slide show with music to a regular DVD but it comes out with poor resolution when blowing up to full screen. When I try to burn same to a Blu-ray DVD I can't because it burns at about 20 fps ( which I don't need ) and takes too much memory ....about 4 Gig !

Photoshop Elements does not do the burn of a slide show to a DVD disc or to Blu-ray disc: Photoshop Elements only burns the VERY low resolution VCD format to a CD disc. The DVD formats are created by the Adobe Premiere Elements software which perhaps you purchased in; a bundle with Photopshop Elements.
Premiere Elements has a separate forum at
http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
so that is where you will find people who can help with questions about Blu-ray and standard def video DVDs
When you post on that forum, I recommend that you include which version of the Adobe software you are running, which version of Windows, and whether you are doing your playback of the slide show at full screen on a computer or using a TV DVD player. Also if doing playback on a computer include what software are you using for playback at full screen and what is the resolution of that screen ?

DVD/Blu-Ray Combo Drives

I am also confused about the abilities of a drive marked as "Blu-ray /DVD Combo". I am interested in purchasing an IdeaCentre K330 - 77273GU with this drive option (instead of the IdeaCentre K330 - 77273HU which comes with a "DVD Recordable" drive). There is not much information regarding part numbers or specific manufacturers of this drive. The only link I can refer to is the product page:
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...
Is it safe to assume that this drive would have DVD and CD (and possibly blu-ray) writing capabilities even though the world "recordable" is nowhere in the product description? Does this mean the drive only reads these kinds of discs and cannot write to them? If there is any way to know for sure if this desciption implies that it is fully capable of writing DVDs and CDs in addition to playing blu-ray discs, I would gladly appreciate a response!
Thank you,
--Olmos117

Zehn,
Thank you very much!
