Movies purchased from iTunes-What format?

Does anyone know if movies purchased from iTunes store can be burned to a DVD and played in a DVD player? I'm thinking about buying some but I would like to play them on my 63" TV rather than my puter.

I know I can hook the puter up to my TV but then I also need to hook it up to my surround sound as well which would involve buying a bunch of adapters and cables which is more expense and inconvenience. And I don't have the convenience of the remote control. Seems to me that if I'm going to buy a movie for $15 I should at least be able to burn it to a DVD. I could go to the store and buy for that price or less. I just wanted to buy a movie so I could watch it tonight and I don't want to go anywhere. Besides, a lot of people on the forums have been saying that they can't get their MBP's to play through their TV's. Samsung seems to be the biggest problem and that is what I have. Doesn't give me much reason to buy from iTunes.

    Is the manually manage music and videos option still selected from under the iPod's Summary tab?  What happens when you try to drag files over to your iPod Classic?

    What do you want to watch it on?
    You need a computer (Mac or Windows) with iTunes, an AppleTV, an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad.

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • Movies purchased from iTunes to stream to LG smart TV from NAS via DLNA?

    Want to stream HD movies purchased from iTunes and stored on a WD NAS drive on LG smart TV (42LN578V)? Movies have standard iTunes DRM protection and so won't currently play on TV. Why is this not possible?! DRM or iTunes app for TV would offer sufficient protection for copyright holders surely? PC not up to job (so can't 'cast' to TV) and this would be a backwards step anyway. Must 'play' on TV in HD & 5.1. Is this not possible?!

    iTunes running on windows laptop by the way. Don't want this to have to be on in order to watch the movies. Can an Apple TV box be an 'authorised device' for use in playing iTunes movies and then stream them directly from NAS?

  • HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

    My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

    Mike, Hi
    Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
    The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

  • How can I play an HD movie purchased from Itunes  on my TV using HDMI connection?

    I would like to know how i can play movies purchased in Itunes on my TV using the HDMI cable?   When I try playing HD movies from Itunes I can't play them.  I get the following error:
    "To play in HD, you must have a computer with a built in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP".
    I used to be able to play them before but not anymore.  Not sure why.  Maybe it's due to the new update.  Is there a fix?
    Thanks,

    Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

  • HT4743 My TV will play movies purchased from itunes via apple tv but not tv shows..why ? thank you

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are the movies purchased from the iTunes Store and if so were they purchased from the same account as the TV shows.

  • Can't download movies purchased from itunes on my ipad

    I have many movies purchased through iTunes store.  In the past I was able to download to my iPad to watch when out of wifi.  Now many titles, I cannot.  Previously, I downloaded Avengers and watched, now it won't. Why?

    I had the same issue and was able to fix it...  I went to settings / videos and turned on "show all videos". I did the same at settings / iTunes and App Store.  Then, when I returned to "videos", all of my purchases were there (took a second).  At that point I did NOT get the "watch" button...I DID get the "cloud" icon And was able to download.....

  • Movie purchased from iTunes no longer sync's to Apple TV/iPhone

    I purchased the movie Iron Man awhile back, I was able to watch it via my Apple TV once, I don't sync, I stream. I was also able to sync it to my iPhone. I am un-able to do both now, the movie is still in iTunes and is only watchable via the computer. When the iPhone is connected, I place a check mark next to the movie to add and nothing (Yes, there is enough storage space), in the Apple TV Movie menu the movie does not show up in the list, but others I have purchased do. Please help.

    i have 2 movies in itunes listed in the movies tab in itunes and it's showing up in the movies tab in the iphone tab as well but after i sync it, i still don't have the 2 movies show up on my iphone after i sync and disconnect the USB cable. i checked to make sure the check mark is checked for the 2 movies and also i have check mark for all movies and have it checked for individual movies but it still will not show up on my iphone. I actually have 4 movies and 2 are showing up on my iphone. the format is mpeg 4. it should move to the iphone but i tried so many times to sync it. i have done the drag into the genius tab but it won't let me drag directly onto the iphone icon in itunes. i don't know why the movies won't move onto the iphone. i have plenty of space on my iphone. any ideas what i need to do? i believe the movies are in the itunes library.

  • Why can't I play an old movie purchased from iTunes and later uploaded to iTunes from an external hard drive on my Apple TV?

    I bought Ratatouille some years ago from iTunes downloaded onto a 1st gen Apple TV, and subsequently to an old MacBook.  I had backed that MacBook up to an external HD.  A couple computers from that time and now I have a new gen ATV.  I noticed that all my old movies showed up to stream on the new ATV's system except Ratatouille.  So today I decided to upload the movie onto my new MBP's iTunes.  But the movie won't show up on ATV.  Again, this is an iTunes-purchased movie so it has nothing to do with format.  I can play the movie through "home sharing" but I shouldn't have to leave my MBP open to play the movie - it should be available on my "purchased" selection that can be played at any time.  Any suggestions how to resolve this issue?  Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Is there a way to display movies purchased from itunes from my ipad to my apple TV without internet (still using wifi)

    I am going on vacation and will have a wifi network, but no internet access. I have tried to display downloaded movies from my ipad purchased on itunes to my apple TV, but get "Unknown Error -3". I can use mirroring, but not show the video. I am signed into the same account on both devices and the movie is downloaded to the ipad. The only issue I can think of is some DRM check, but I am not sure.
    Has anyone been able to do this? It would be nice to be able to use my purchased movies on vacation without needing internet.
    thanks for any help

    thanks for any help!
    This was a big advantage of AppleTV1 - generally it did not need internet authorisation for synced material on its internal drive and was great for holiday/vacation.
    I tend to use a Mac Mini these days when going away.
