Some movies crash Apple TV

I have over 200 movies ripped to a hard drive. I stream these to my Apple TV. I have found that some cause my Apple TV to reset every time I try to play them. I then have to re-select a source. I have re-ripped these movies and still I can't play them. The last movie to do this was an AVI ripped first with Elgato Turbo 264 and then again with Quicktime player export. Neither copy will stream. However they play fine in QT player or directly in iTunes.
Any suggestions?

You may have already found this out, but it happens with files that the turbo.264 encodes at any frame rate other than 29.97....to avoid, you need to create a custom format and change frame rate from automatic to 29.97.

Why will some movies on apple TV take hours to download?

I purchased a movie from iTunes and it takes longer than usual to download. Sometimes they take 8 hours or 4 hours. Usually, it only needs to download to 1% and I can start watching it. Why is it taking so long??? and who do I call if there's a problem?

That depends on the network. It will start once enough has loaded to play without interuption.
Check speedtest.net
Need 8mbps for instant 1080P
6mbps for 720P
Check interference using istumbler or netstumbler

If you wish to use home sharing then you need to setup the Apple TV under your ID.

HT1551 why does my Apple TV say that some movies purchased through iTunes are not authorized to play on the Apple TV (1st gen)

Why will my Apple TV (1st gen) not allow me to play some movies even though they were purchased in the iTunes store? I have sync'd the movies to my Apple TV and there is plenty of room on the drive. I get the error message that says this movie is not authoriezed for play on the Apple TV. Thanks. Ron

Have you purchased anything on the Apple TV recently, next time you make a purchase, try making it on the Apple TV.

HT3209 I have purchased some movies in my apple tv, but now its telling me that i have no purchases in my apple tv

Well i have purchased some movies in my apple tv 3rd generation, but now its telling me that i do not have any purchases.....what should i do.

It seems the iPhone before the update was not officially unlocked from the carrier it is locked to. Which would mean it had been unlocked to use on your carriers sim by jailbreaking(hacking) or by using third party hardware.

Only some movies I have placed in iTunes "Movies" are viewable via Apple TV. Why? Also some movies have blue dots in front of their titles and some don't . Why?

Please understand I am a frustrated customer like you, , but the availability of movies that have been shown before is dependant on licencing from the rights owners. Sky quite rightly have to pay the film studios for the ability to show to Sky's customers. As I understand it they purchase the right for a period of time, hence when the right expires then it has to be removed. The costing of the movies does reflect on the anticipated popularity of the programme, hence an older less popular movie might seem expensive but if not many people watch and pay that would be right. The apparent silliness of having movies in the store and on demand, allows those people who do not have a movie subscription to rent the movie on a one off basis. I agree that Sky seem to be licencing some programmes for shorter periods and it really upsets me when movies appear in buy and keep but not available to rent only. I recently queried Sky about Fortitude being available in OnDemand until 2022!, then of course found out that Sky owns the rights of the series. I can only say be careful if you are a movies subscriber and wish to watch a movie, not to select the Sky Store version if it is available in the Movies on Demand section. I recently wanted to watch a film that I found in Sky store at a cost, and just to be sure I searched for it and found it was to be shown on Channel 4 in a few days. I don't think we'll ever understand how such decision are made as to how long they licence movies for and how the charging model works with the film studios. Logically you would think that a smallish fee to have available indefinately and to pay the studio fee based on the number of rentals would be better, but that might be difficult to administer and Sky would have to have extra server storage fees, which they outsource. Hope that help you understand

I'm an American living in Okinawa Japan, Just bought an apple os-x now I'm trying to buy some movies, but not authorized because my computer is American is there a way to get around this? I have a Visa and can use this any where in Japan and in the States. However, when I try to use it with Apple it will not allow. Can I use PayPal?

Same policy for iTunes as well as the Mac App Store.

Not all content types are available in all countries, Apple can only sell content where the copyright holder has granted them a license to do so, and is some cases what a country's laws allows them to - a list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599

Some movies are on my Apple TV but not on my Mac.

I just set up my new Apple TV today and I noticed when I log in with my Apple account, there are a few movies I can see in my Apple TV list but not my iTunes list on my Mac? Why is this? Also, I purchased a movie through Apple TV, how do I download it to my Mac?

Okay, I think i'm having the same problem again after I purchase a movie through my Apple TV. I cannot see it in my initial movies list whn i log onto my Apple ID here at my work computer. Before I was able to see ALL my library but now I cannot see them. And I also noticed on my computer at home. I logged out, then logged back in just to be sure and I cannot see all of my movies. I though you can just be able t watch the movies you have purchased or loaded from a disc onot iTunes without haveing to download them at all. (just stream them)
Here on my work computer, I do have "check for available downloads" checked and on my computer at home. I also checked the purchased tab in the iTunes home wondow and on my home computer is stated that all downlaods for my ID are available, or whatever it says, cant really remember off the top of my head. Here on my work computer I did the same thing and I see ALL my movies. But that is the thing, I do not want to downlaod them on my work computer, just stream them. Like I said, before, I was able to just see them in my movies tab and watch them streaming but now they are all gone.

I-Movie CRASHES directly after ANY import

ok so
anytime i try and import a movie file of any kind, or footage off of a camera i movie crashes.
the import will occur but as soon as it reaches the end, BANG, bye bye i movie
this originally happened with Imoive HD, but i got myself the newest version and and it still crashes.
Not only imovie but Toast crashes when i try and import a movie.
i have also deleted quicktime and downloaded the newest verion but its still does the bad
HELP MEEE!!!! MOVIES ARE MY LIFE!!! IM SO DEPRESSED ETC ETC ETC

OH YES. PLENTY OF SPACE. LIKE 23 GIG
theres something wrong with quicktime i think but
like, gah. i have no freakn idea. and silly apple
actually charge to fix their own muss ups
23 GB may not be enough depending on your movie.
Try deleting the preference files:
Quit iMovie.
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder.
The files are located here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist

Some movies from DVD won't show up on ATV

I'm having a problem with ripped movies.
Some movies ripped from DVDs I own do not show up on ATV. (Streaming)
For example, I ripped 2 disc set of "The Lord of the Rings: Extended edition" by HandBrake 0.8.5b1, using exact same setting (FFmpeg 4, 2300kbps).
I see both files on iTunes. I see the disc 2 on ATV and it plays just fine, but not disc 1. Disc 1 does not show up on ATV under Movies section.
Restarting iTunes, Mac itself, ATV or re-pairing ATV with Mac didn't work.
Do you have any idea what I'm missing here?
Thanks for your advice.
[Setup]
iTunes Server: MacBook C2D
Movie Files: Stored on an External USB drive connected to AEBS (802.11n)
MacBook C2D (Black, 2GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.9) Apple TV, iPod Shuffle (Aluminum), Airport Extreme (n)

It may be worth checking you've got the correct sound settings.
I converted a recorded TV show into a mov using H264 encoding and AAC, or so I thought.
I cannot see the file on aTV and if I sync it say the movie cannot play on aTV.
The reason looks to be that the audio was erroneously saved as an incorrect format (Integer, Big endian) - no idea if this was a conversion glitch or user error, but I was convinced it was the video rate when it's probably the audio all along!

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

HT5085 I bought some movies on iTunes and they are on my computer but I don't know why they are not in the iCloud, can you tell me why?

I bought some movies via itunes how do I take it off my computer and add it to the icloud?

Are you in a country where films can be redownloaded - the page that you posted from should list countries and where the different content types can be redownloaded. But even if you, not all countries have agreed to allow their films be redownloaded, and there is no guarantee that a film (or any other item) will remain in the store, so you shouldn't rely on being able to redownload them. You also can't add films and/or tv programmes to the cloud, whether an item appears there depends upon your country, the film studio, and if it remains in the store.
If you are in a country where films can be redownloaded, and those films are still in your store, then if they don't show in the cloud check to see if they care hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

Purchasing additional languages for movies on Apple TV

Hello,
We are a multilingual family, and are trying to promote the use of all our languages to our kids, French, Italian and English. We use the Apple Tv extensively, and I was wondering if there is an option to purchase aditional languages for movies on the Apple TV.
for example we purchase kids movies on the French itunes store and it includes both french and english languages, but not italian. However that same movies is available on the italian itunes store in italian. However since I have already purchased the movies i don't want to buy them all again on the italian itunes store. That would cost too much, but also we would have duplicates of our movies and in seperate itunes store accounts just to be able to watch them in different languages. This would be very inconvenient. In other cases, some movies on the french itunes store only have french as the language, however the english and italian languages are again available in the english and italian itunes store respectively.
The world is becoming ever more international and multilingual, and access to languages should not be so complicated. In fact Apple has always been a pioneer in offering all languages on their Mac OS and iOS, embracing the multilingual spirit.
IT would be extremely useful, if we could add aditional languages to an already purchased movie.
thank you for your help, if you have a solution to my problem.

To have Apple see your request, you should repost it at
http://www.apple.com/feedback
In the meantime, you might want to see whether other stores offer movies with more languages included.

Is it possible to watch a previously purchased movie on Apple TV without having to turn on my computer?

I just bought a 3rd gen Apple TV. I have some movies on my MacBook which I purchased through the iTunes store. I know I can watch those movies on my Apple TV, but is it possible to watch those movies on my Apple TV WITHOUT having to turn on my computer? In other words, does iCloud support movies, and if so, can apple TV access them directly? My MacBook is on the third floor, and my living room is on the first floor, so I just want to avoid having to turn on my laptop everytime I want to watch one of those movies.

Your past purchases. Available on all your devices.
Now you can download music, movies, and TV shows you’ve previously purchased to all your devices. When you buy from iTunes, iCloud stores your purchase history. So you can see what you’ve bought — no matter which device you bought it on. You can access your purchase history from the iTunes Store on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV. And since you already own the songs, albums, movies, or TV shows in your purchase history, you can tap to download them to any of your devices
