What about video rentals?

is anyone else as frustrated as me, when I check to see if there's anything worth watching on the Apple TV video rentals store, all of the films I want to watch can only be bought at silly prices, not rented?
these films can already be bought on dvd at a cheaper price than the Apple TV download, with extra disks, more content,
and can also be rented on DVD right now from Blockbusters etc
so I ask, what's the point of AppleTV rental/not rental store?

well yes I don't feel that Apple sets the schedule so to speak, I just don't see the Studio's logic in releasing the DVD for purchase and rental, while not doing the same for downloads?,
who on earth is going to buy a DRM laden download for £10.99 when the DVD is also available, or wait an extra month or two for the rental download when the DVD is already available for rent?,
I'll be surprised if Apple sell many of either on new releases

I have been asked to verify my account details. I have moved from UK to New Zealand. I cannot change my country from United Kingdom. When I tap on United Kingdom a red message appears telling me that I have unexpired video rentals, which is irrelevant!

I have moved from UK to New Zealand. I need to change my address within iTunes because my credit card is now billed to me in NZ. I have an iPad. When I tap United Kingdom within the relevant change personal details section, instead of allowing me to switch countries, a red message comes up telling me that I have unexpired video rentals. This is correct, but it does not help me switch countries. Can anyone help?

Nothing yet. I have changed my information back to the UK address and, though it is no longer correct, it now allows me to buy stuff. Not good!

What to do when video rental onshows downloaded and does not play?

I tried to dowbload a video rental on my ipad and can get it to play, when i press the downloaded button it sends me to a "learn about rentals location" I don't think the video has fully downloaded and yet I was charged 4.99 as if the video was rented and downloaded on my ipad. Anything I can do other than contact ipad support?

I seem to be having the same problem, button says downloaded but greyed out and inactive. I think the same thing has happened to me, not fully downloaded. I left it overnight then went to sleep, think iPad may have shut down.

HT1386 Can I sync video rentals on my ipad with my laptop?

Can I sync video rentals on my ipad with my laptop?

Did you download the rental directly on the iPad ? If so (from this page) :
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

My video rental will not play. Any suggestions?

I downloaded a video rental, and it will not play. I get the message that my rental will start, and I have 24 hours to watch it. Once I click 'continue', the movie will not play. I checked the forums for information, but I couldn't find anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

@ sberman - All good questions, but the issue is being resolved as we speak. I downloaded a video rental to my iTunes 11.0.2 on my MacBook (OSX 10.6.8). I was trying to watch the rental on my machine, but as I said, nothing would play. To resolve the issue, I contacted Apple Support by submitting an issue ticket through iTunes. They reset my purchase/rental, and gave me some steps to try (upgrade iTunes, ensure download is complete before disconnecting from the internet, etc., etc.). Hopefully this works!

Video Premier video rental software

I'm looking for an old software product originally designed for Mac OS 7 but worked just as well with 8 and 9 as well. It is (or was) called Video Premeire (it was video rental software), and I think the programmer's name was Bill Swaggerty, or something close to that, a Mac tech and programmer. Does anybody know this person or how I can contact him? The language the software was programmed has not been supported in a long while but the software still worked great, and I need to buy the program again since I no longer have a copy of it. Please help if you can, otherwise I will be forced to use a Windows (the "baggy monster") based program.
PowerBook G4, eMac, iBook, also Quadra 630, etc. Mac OS X (10.4.3) I own several Macs, including a vintage SE 30, and OS as far back as 7

I know nothing about Video Premiere or whether he had anything to do with it, I just did some searching and came up with this:
Bill Swagerty (the author of vaccine) is/was affiliated with this site:

No video rentals on video ipods?

I've completed several searches and none comprehensively answer my question. I believe I have a 5.5 Gen video ipod. Am I out of luck with video rentals from itunes?
If so, then the documentation for this is essentially non-existant and misleading at the least.
From the top of the rental FAQ:
You can rent movies from iTunes and watch them with you Mac or Windows computer, iPone or iPod, including the iPod touch, iPod nano (3rd generation), and iPod classic. as well as on your TV using Apple TV.
Only on the rentals web page does it say that only the current version of iPod Classic is supported.
To further complicate things, I can't readily find a way to definitely determine which iPod I own. Can someone give me a pointer here?
frustrating to say the least.....

I does sound as if you have an iPod with Video (aka 5th gen). No, they don''t support rental movies, only purchased movies and television shows.
At present there is only one version of the Classic (which would be the 6th gen but no one calls it that).
Here's the link for identifying iPods:

Video problem with appletv

I just purchased appletv and it works fine except when using the new app itunes live (itunes festival london). When I try to play a concert from this app from my iphone to appletv I only get audio, no video on my big screen. I get video to play just fine on the appletv from youtube and the videos that are on my iphone. It seems like there is some issue with this itunes live app. Everything I have is updated to the current version (appletv, imac computer, iphone). Airplay seems to work just fine with everything but this app. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately that did not fix the problem for me. My appletv and iphone software are all up to date and I still am getting only audio on the itune festival london app. When I press the airplay button on the app once the video has started it gives me a choice of appletv or iphone and both have speaker icons next to them instead of tv icons. That seems weird since in all other videos it shows the tv icon rather than the speaker icon. When the music starts playing on the tv a musical note icon shows up on the tv saying unknown artist. I will call apple care tomorrow and see if they can figure it out. It really shouldn't be a problem since the app is designed by apple not a third party company.

Encoding home videos for IPhone, AppleTV and IPod Touch

Hi Folks,
I'm on latest version of Compressor and FCP.
Objective: to encode home video transfers to a format that is suitable for AppleTV, IPhone and Ipod Touch - in an efficient manner (this is key)
99% of the videos would be VHS and camcorder tapes in SD format.
I mentioned efficient manner b/c I tried running and Iphone encode through the presets in Compressor for a 2 hour VHS transfer - nothing fancy, just 12 chapters. I'm on my 2009 quad mac pro with 8 GBs RAM.
The estimator through the 'share' feature said it was going to take over 3 hours before I quit. The other reason I quit is b/c it won't be compatible with AppleTV.
I created DVDs for my client so I tried handbrake using the video_Ts folder and it created an IPhone/IPod Touch file no problem - only 40 minutes. Not bad. I tried the Universal preset and QT gives me an error that the finalized file isn't compatible.
I guess my question is: does it matter quality wise, if I run through Handbrake vs compressor? For this particular client, there are 12 hours worth of videos to compress.
I know about setting up a cluster on my mac pro, but everytime I try more than 1 file in a batch, the subsequent files fail. I can't even set a cluster up with my 2006 mac pro either - yes, I've had discussions with FCP support staff and have tickets. It's a bug
So, any thoughts? 3 hours (at a minimum) seems awfully long to compress.
Of course, I would be charging my client for these videos, but at that length of time, I'm not sure what a feasible cost would be for both sides.
Cheers,
keebler

If you are send out self contained movies to be processed in Compressor with Standard Presets (no adjustment to frame controls) you should be getting decent speed. If you want I can try encoding a two hour DV clip. How far did the encoding get before you stopped it? The estimates are not necessarily accurate at the beginning.
Also if you can get the Clusters working (disregarding the size of the batches for a moment) should help with speed. I run into limits of around 20 per batch so make multiple batches. Not the most optimal way, but could be worth it to get them all going. Set them up for overnight and it should be done in the AM.
Creating off the Video_TS folder is compressing compressed material, so it could (should) reduce quality when compared to encoding original source material, though based on the quality of the source it may be more academic...
I would try to get the Compressor end working myself. (Ignore using share, just open Compressor and put movies into it.)

How can I stream photos/videos to an AppleTV on someone elses network from my laptop?

I want to bring my MacBook over my parents house and display pictures from it onto the TV. My parents have an AppleTV.
How do i do this? Is there an easy way, or do i have to go to the trouble of adding it to the network, authenticating it, etc?

If you change your homesharing settings in iTunes (advanced menu) to use their homesharing settings, you can share your photos via iTunes by adding your library to their list under the computer section on the Apple TV. you would need to add your videos from iPhoto to iTunes in order to stream them.

IPhone "live" video to multiple AppleTVs?

Is there a way to stream live video that is being recorded from an iPhone to multiple AppleTVs that are all on the same Wi-Fi network?

No.

No video mirroring iPad2 - AppleTV

Help.
I've checked my Apple TV (Menu > General > Update software) which says 'Your Apple TV is up to date'.
I've checked in 'About' and it says it's running 4.3 (2257)
I've checked my iPad 2 which says it is running the latest version of iOS - 5.0
I double tap the home button on iPad2, scroll to iPod music control, hit the Airplay button which shows:
- iPad
- Apple TV
I do NOT get an option to mirror. It's just those two devices on the list and nothing else. No sliding blue 'Mirror' switch.
I select AppleTV. Now all apps on the iPad (games etc.) play the audio through the AppleTV but I get no video. It just stays on the AppleTV menu screen.
What am I missing? Anyone know why I don't get the sliding blue 'Mirror' switch. I want to play Real Racing HD on my massive TV :-(
Thanks

You need to upgrade your apple tv software to 4.4. But many people are having trouble doing this at the moment. See the other threads in this forum section.

1 Movie file has video track for appletv & 1 for iphone

Does anyone know how when you purchase a movie on itunes in HD, you get a beautiful HD movie to watch on your AppleTV that is a fairly large file, but when you choose to sync it to your iphone the movie file is MUCH smaller, made just for the iphone. There are not two files, so I assume the file has 2 video tracks in it and syncing just extracts the smaller file. Any one have insight on this? I'm ripping my own movies and want to create the same thing. Once file with a HD track and an iphone track.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
When you purchase HD files from itunes you DO get two files.
Quicktime can create multi tracked files but I don't believe they will play on the tv or the ipod. Neither device to my knowledge supports sprites

If you had an AppleTV 1 this function was available - you could play a movie or music and send the audio to any available Airport 'speaker'.
AppleTV2 lost this useful function.
