HT3209 1080p Movie iTunes audio format

Thru apple tv, For recent 1080p movies is the audio being used supposed to be the high resolution bluray audio formats? The same that comes with bluray? Or does Apple TV only support Dolby digital audio passing thru. I'm using hdmi to home theater receiver.

And thirdly, of the ones that did transfer to my ipod, some are fine without any problems. But with others the video works okay but there is no audio. How do I fix that?
Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (both of which iTunes uses) does not convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

1080p Movies iTunes UK

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
While there is a lot of 1080p movies available to rent on Apple TV in the UK, I have yet to find a movie on the iTunes store to purchase in 1080p. I have my iTunes set to prefer downloading in 1080p but this doesn't seem to have changed anything. Is there going to be more 1080p content in the near future?
Secondly, when I purchased my Apple TV I did a support chat on the Apple Store website and the operator told me that if I purchased content in 720p I could upgrade it to 1080p when it became available. I was wondering what the mechanism for this is in the UK - there doesn't appear to be a link to movies in my "purchased" page on my iTunes store account - only for songs and TV programmes so I don't know how I would be able to redownload when it did become avaiable.
Can anyone shed any light on these 2 issues?

" Is there going to be more 1080p content in the near future?"
Probably. No way to know unless Apple or the movie inductry announces.
"I don't know how I would be able to redownload when it did become avaiable."
You will find out when it becomes available.

HT3209 HD MOVIES ITUNES

If i download an HD movie on my iPhone 4 will it download in HD on my computer as well? On the iTunes page on my iPhone it says that an SD version will be available for my computer but i would want it in HD on my computer as well.

You can download the HD version on the computer by going to the purchased tab in iTunes. As long as the movie states that it will be availeble in the cloud after purchase, you can download it again on the computer. If not, you will have to sync it to your computer. You will be able to keep it on both devices.

What audio format encoded into iTunes HD Movies and TV shows?

What audio format encoded into iTunes HD Movies and TV shows, AC3, 5.1 DolbyDigital? Its been a long long while since I rented an HD movie on ATV since netflix came around with streaming and BD. Now they have rentals and purchases. Anyone know if the purchases play with 5.1 or better audio?

I think if you pull up the movie in the iTunes store it should tell you. For example, I pulled up the Star Trek movie that came out a few months ago, and it reports "Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound". Clearly you need to make sure that your hardware supports whatever sound configuration the movie employs.

1080p movies on the UK iTunes store

Hi all,
Has anyone found any 1080p movies on the UK iTunes store yet? I had a look last night after doing all the updates and all I could find were 720p ones.
Thanks,
Ross

you wont find new 1080p movies till they are released but you can download them from purchased tab. i already have redownloaded a few 1080p already.

Force 1080p Movie Downloads from iTunes Store

Hi everyone, my first post here.
I know that you can change preferences for HD movies between 720 and 1080p in iTunes settings, and mine is set to 1080p. When I am about to download a movie I can see on the movie page that it says "Available in 720p and 1080p, downloading 1080p", and then it displays the size in GB of the 1080p file.
HOWEVER, my concern is that when attempting to download a movie in 1080p with a device with a sub-1080p resolution (which includes every macbook except the Retina I believe) iTunes will automatically decide for you that the movie is larger than your screen and so it will download the 720p version. I have verified this by checking the resolution of the finished download, and also the size of the movie is ~1-2 GB (depends on the movie) smaller than the labeled 1080p size on iTunes store.
I borrowed a 1080p monitor and tried again, and I was able to get a full 1080 download. I am positive that my settings are right, and that the movie in question is available in both resolutions. (I have tested this with many movies actually).
So, yes it's true that my MBA screen resolution cannot handle 1080p movies, but my iPad can and so can my Apple TV so I don't think this arbitraty restriction is warranted. Anyone know of a way around this? I will not be buying movies from the iTunes store anymore if they are forced to 720p instead of 1080p resolution because of my Macbook Air. You pay the same amount of money for either resolution but one is significantly better and I am not able to download it (not trying to discuss whether 1080 is actually better than 720, with my TV setup it is).
Worth mentioning: The above issues have been with RENTED movies only, I have not tried downloading a full length movie because I'm not about to spend $15 instead of $4 just to have this issue again.
Try this yourselves!!! Many of you have probably had this same problem for ages but not even realized it. This should make you angry! Would also be interested if the problem persists for purchased movies, if anyone has tested this.

Same issue. I've been buying TV shows and movies on iTunes for a long time and copying them to my iPhone to watch on my TV. A few days ago, I tried to move a rented movie to my iPhone the same way I always did, click the "move" button next to the movie under the movies tab for the iPhone in iTunes when iPhone was connected and then click "apply". It would do a quick sync without copying anything.
I thought I had a bum file, so I e-mailed Apple support and they reset the purchase so that I could redownload, which I'm doing now.
But my recently downloaded episodes of Lost will also not copy to my iPhone. AND they will not even play on my iMac. When I try to play them, it shows only a grey screen with a progress bar. TV shows and movies purchased and downloaded weeks or months ago still play fine.
No changes have been made to my system. After the rented movie didn't play and copy, I did a update check and downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPhone firmware. That didn't fix it. I have the newest versions of the Quicktime and iTunes. The computer is authorized for these purchases. The iPhone is authorized.
I've looked at similar threads and have not found a solution. I'm stumped. If anyone has a solution let me know.

What audio format does iTunes convert to and use?

I got an ipod touch 4 a few months back, and it had to convert many of my songs to a different format. I need to put some songs on a rewritable cd/dvd to work in a cd player. I think it is an MP4 format. We tried it on a rewritable DVD-RW and a CD-R. Neither work. We tried on two different cd players. They act as if nothing was there. I need to know if Mp4 format is the problem and if iTunes can convert it to the right format. I can't find what format it converted my other songs to. Thanks for suggestions!

iTunes does not convert the audio format unless you ask it to, either by ripping from an audio CD or using the conversion process. (In iTunes for Windows it also does a conversion when a WMA file is added.) Other than that, it leaves files in the audio format they are in.
When it does convert, it uses the format that you have selected in the "Import Preferences." That value defaults to AAC, but also allows selection of MP3, Apple Lossless, WAV, or AIFF.

ITunes does not support audio format of iTubes store song

I downloaded some songs from the store but some of them say that they cannot be copied because the audio format is not supported by my iPod. The songs do not play in iTunes either. I have a nano with the latest update. What is happening and how do I fix it?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Contact the iTunes Email Support with the names of the songs using the link at the bottom of this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/authorization/
Songs from the iTunes Store are in ACC format & should play in iTunes & on your iPod...So it sounds like the songs didn't download correctly.

I'm trying to extract audio files from my OLYMPUS Digital Voice Recorder VN-6200PC I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document "VN622195.WMA" could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

ITunes support for 5.1 audio formats - a plea to Apple!

When will we finally be able to purchase and play high resolution 5.1 audio formats such as DTS, Dolby Digital, MLP, etc with iTunes?
I have a car (Acura) that has iPod integration, as well as an amazing audio system with DVD-A and DTS support. The DVD-A surround sound discs sound amazing. The weakest link is the iPod....I can't buy any 5.1 content from iTunes and have it on my iPod or iPhone.
As you know, DVD-A and SACD are basically dead physical formats, but the 5.1 content they carried is amazing. There is no shortage of 5.1 music material these days. The distribution is the only thing missing. I'm willing to pay a premium for 5.1 music content, but Apple has to sell it...please!!!
Doug

ed2345 - Thanks for the link. Looks very interesting! I don't see any surround/5.1/DTS/DD files, though. I don't think ripping/playing 5.1 files is possible via the iPod/iPhone software without Apple's support. I could author my own DVD-As from these hi-res files, but that's a little more effort and $ for a tool, just for 2.0 files. I'm primarily interested in iTunes/iPod/iPhone 5.1 support, in any format of Apple's choosing, directly within the iPod/iPhone. Whatever iTunes chooses would likely be the defacto standard for 5.1 audio files. I'd just rather carry an iPod full of 5.1 files than physical discs for every album. Again, thanks for the info!
Roamingnome - I'm addressing both Apple and our constituency with this request to support 5.1 audio formats. I have already submitted feedback directly to Apple.

How to add Audio Formats and Video Formats in one movie?

Now that FCP X will not allow different settings how would I change the Audio Format and the Video Format to one movie in Compressor 4?
When I change the Audio to ACC I have a sound file and when I change the Video Format to HD 720 I get the movie but with the original sound.
Any help is always appreciated.

Sorry for this one also. Just finally searched the Inspector windoe in Compressor 4. It is already there.

ITunes organize home movies including mobile format with AppleTV & iPhone?

I use both AppleTV and iPhone to watch and play home movies. I currently organize my home movies under TV Shows and then organize each movie by year. For example - I may have 6 home movies under "Home Movies 2008" and 7 movies under "Home Movies 2009." iTunes organizes the home movies like it would TV Shows so I can see how many movies I have under each heading.
What is the best way to organize movies that are formatted to play on my iPhone? I may have the same name for a movie in 720p and iPhone format. Anyone currently organizing a successful way when utilizing AppleTV and iPhone? Recommendations?

maybe you and apple disagree when something is hd
apple sd movies are around 853x480 pixels

Audio formats on .mov file

Hi all,
I need to generate a video recorded file from an embedded device (network video recorder) that can be imported from Final Cut Pro. The easiest formats for me to generate are .mov with H264 video format and ulaw audio format, but I have been told that this is not supported by Final Cut. Can anybody point me out to a list of supported formats by Final Cut in both .avi and .mov?. Ideally it should be H264 for video and ulaw or alaw stereo audio format.
Thanks

Hi,
you can read Final Cut Pro 7 specs, listed here:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/specs/#finalcutpro
AIFF is a format that you can edit directly without the needs to render.
Also check FCP documentation. From its pages you can find this:
Recommended Audio File Formats
For best performance, use one of the following uncompressed audio file formats when
editing in Final Cut Pro:
• AIFF or AIFC containing uncompressed audio
• WAVE or Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) containing uncompressed audio
• Sound Designer II
• Single-track or multitrack QuickTime movies containing uncompressed audio
Natively, Final Cut Pro captures to QuickTime movie files with one or more audio tracks.
Audio Formats to Avoid
The following formats and audio data formats should be avoided when editing in
Final Cut Pro because they require real-time processing for playback:
• Any file containing compressed formats such as MP3, AAC, and Apple Lossless Codec
• QuickTime movies containing compressed audio, such as MPEG-4 and H.264 files
• Multiplexed video and audio streams such as MPEG-2 program streams and DV Stream
files (This is one of the formats iMovie can create during capture.)
Regards,
Armando.

I get error "audio format not compatable" when downloading music from the itunes store

I get error "audio format not compatable" when syncing ipod classic. Music purchased from itunes store.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
