TS1424 Itunes film and TV show downloads and not being able to watch them.

When I am using my macbook pro and in itunes and download a film, the film starts to download OK, and it shows the artwork for the film and it also starts downloading as a 'protected MPEG-4 video file'.  You can even start to watch the film Ok on the macbook pro, but as soon as its finished downloading, the artwork disappears and it says that the film has downloaded as just an 'MPEG-4 video file' and is no longer protected.  I am therefore unable to watch the film I have downloaded for my son. 
When you try to watch the film in iTunes on my Macbook pro, it says "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.
I have updated to make sure I have all the latest software and I also subscribe to itunes match. I have downloaded lots of films before and never had a problem until a month ago.  Please help!!!

My understanding is that VGA generally does not support HDCP (and it's not an Apple issue as such). If your TV has a DVI input, try that. Or if it has an HDMI input, try that using a DVI to HDMI cable.
