IPad:Could not load movie

I downloaded a 'digital copy' DVD via iTunes onto my Mac. I then synced it to my iPad and when I try to play the video it says 'Could not load movie'. Is there a solution?

Having the same problem. Watched 25 minutes of a rental and it stopped with the message"unable to load video"

I rented a movie on an iPad mini while connected to wifi. Now I'm in the car with out Internet and when I try to play the movie is says "could not load movie" what can I do? I purchased it from iTunes and let it load fully before leaving.

Can somebody help me figure this out? So before a road trip I rented a movie on my Ipad mini. The movie fully loaded before I left. It downloaded under wifi. Now that I'm in the car I tried to watch the movie but it isn't working. When I press play an error message pops up saying "could not load movie" can I not watch it with our wifi? What's going on? What can I do to watch the movie?

Could not load movie on ipad

I downloaded my first tv show from iTunes onto my ipad (not rented) and it played fine. Went to play it again the next morning because wanted to have it in the car for my son to watch, it said "could not load movie". I don't sync to a computer anymore and sync to cloud. Tried reset, reboot, and reconnecting to wifi, but nothing works. If this means I have to sync to a computer, forget it - I just won't use iTunes for movies, what the h*** is going on?

I rented a movie on itunes and synced it to my ipad but it says that could not load movie?

I've rented a movie from iTunes on my computer which I synced to my iPad - or at least it appears to have moved over however when I hit the play button on the iPad it tells me that it 'could not load movie', I'm not sure what to do next?

If you rented and downloaded it directly on the iPad then it should be in the Videos app - if it's not then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

After watching 25 mn, it stops "Could not load movie"

I rented a movie on my iPad from iTunes Store.
After 25 mn of watching it stops and it says "could not load movie” then it has been fully downloaded.
The Apple assistance says "if your download was interrupted
1/ From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2/ For iPad, tap Downloads."
But I don’t have Downloads button ("More" give me only the kind of movie)
If I go back on the icon of the movie on iTunes Store, it suggests me to "play" and the problem remains the same.
I switch iPad off and on again, nothing better happen.
I put 3 days to download in HD, so rental will expire before the end if I delete and I try to download it again.
Any idea? Thank you.

When I tried that I got a message that moving the rental HD movie back to the computer would delete it instead and I would have to re-rent (for an additional fee) the movie.
No word from Apple on how to solve this problem.
Does anyone here have a solution?

"Could not load movie" with YouTube videos.

Hi there,
In both the past and present I have had much difficulty with playing many YouTube videos on my iPod touch 4. This happens to be the case no matter if I am in the YouTube app or on the mobile YouTube site in safari. I will try to play a video to watch it and often times I blue box will pop up saying 'could not load movie'. This makes video viewing and sharing quite difficult! Please help! Thank you very much!

Here is an explanation for you for the "could not load movie" error, which I have also received on my iPad.
If you run across this error on your iDevice, keep the following in mind:
This is taken from another site, so I will quote:
"Most of the time its due to the age of the video upload, this one for example was done back in 2009 which was 2 years ago now. YouTube as you know relies heavily on Flash for video playback which is not compatible with the iOS range.
However to combat this, YouTube did work on converting chunks of videos to H264 playback, but by default the entire backlog of videos did not go through this conversion process...so you will find the odd video out there that does not play.
I believe though (and please someone correct me here if i am wrong) YouTube by default now encodes uploads in H264 as well as flash and a few other formats for multi-platform enjoyment :-) "

"could not load movie" effing error...

So im tired with this error message .
I tried a soft reset but problem still the same .( btw when i do a soft reset i do not see the apple logo appears like some say... Is it normal ? I just obtain a dark screen and the device shut down thats all..)
So what can i do coz im very angry about this.

Realizing the above YouTube links could have been taken down, so it will not apply to those, but if you run across this error on your iDevice, keep the following in mind:

I downloaded 21 Jump Street for a road trip the other day, and it won't play. I click play and a black screen appears and then it says "could not load movie." I have tried rebooting it, and it won't load. Please help.

I can't figure out how to get this movie to play - I have another movie downloaded and I had no problems. Any tips?

Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

Could not load rental video message

I Downloaded a rental movie from the iTunes Store on my iPad mini after the download the movie appeared in the videos app and I started watching almost immediately after the download was completed. After about 20mins the movie stopped playing and I got a message on the screen saying could not load video. I checked the chapters section on the rental movie and I could see all the chapters loaded. But when I clicked on individual chapters after the 20th min I am getting the same message could not load video. Apparently I could make out that only the chapters containing the first 20mins of the movie are playing and the rest of the chapters are not playing. What could be the issue? Pls help. I know the rental movie lasts for 24hrs but now that I am getting the could not load movie message how will this time period work out ? If there was a problem with the download do
