Why is the movie too bright on TV but OK on monitor?

Hi -
I don't know whether the problem is in AE or Encore so I hope I'm in the right forum.
I built the 6:00 animation in AE and rendered it as a QT mov with no compression.  The subject is filling out forms and mailing them to the correct office, so there are a lot of forms and envelopes animated.  There is also some white call-out text against a dark blue background.
When I burned it on DVD I just did a quick and dirty without looking for or making any adjustments in picture quality (I don't know if there are any).
When I play the DVD on computer it looks fine but on my big TV it is way brighter.  White text on the screen is filling in.  Details on animated forms and envelopes wash-out.  Over all - everything is lighter/brighter.
Is there a way I can balance this out?  Is there a setting in AE or Encore?  Must I darken everything in the AE?
What has caused this and how can I fix it?
TIA some expertise.
JL

Seb - thanks for the rapid response.
Amateur that I am, I don't have access to calibrated anything.
But the output is both computer monitor and TV screen.  I'm freaked that it looks SO different.
I've played it on a few computers and it looks good on all.  Unfortunately I only have one TV/DVD.
Where should I look for the adjustments you're talking about - After Effects or Encore?
(sense the panic in my voice?)

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    You'll have to appeal to Apple and explain what happened: https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action is a place to start.

    Does the film show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading ? If it does (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where they can be re-downloaded not all film studios have agreed to it) then try deleting the film from your iTunes library and redownload it : re-downloading.
    If you can't re-download the film or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

    Mine did it yesterday.
    My internet connection has been playing up for 2-3 days, with loss of connection even though router still indicates it's connected.. AppleTV is still on network but can't see the internet for movies when this happens.
    Also check you have correct country set as some won't allow movie rentals.

  • Why is the movie I bought from itune can not rewatch?

    I just bought my movie last night on itune, but it turns out can't be re-watch again? Every time I tried to click the play button on the introduction cover, it jumped to the player then jump back to the introduction with cover, why is that? Is it can't be re-watch again? I've payed the full price!

    You own it. You can watch it a million times if you want to do so. The videos app is misbehaving. Try this first.
    Quit the videos app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why is the movie "How to train your dragon" not available in the US itunes store?

    I am about to travel out of the USA for a extended period of time, and what I can pack is limited. I felt it would be a better choice to buy a digital version of my favorite movie "How to train your dragon" which when I search for it on the web I can find it (https://ssl.apple.com/itunes/charts/movies/how-to-train-your-dragon/). But when I go to open it up or search for the movie in itunes... it does not exist. In fact, it says as part of the error that it doesn't exist in the USA store.
    This confuses me because it was produced by a USA company and you can get the movie in Blueray and normal DVD at any store in the USA, yet iTunes seems to have blocked all sales of it.
    So I would just like to know why it is currently unavailable, and when I can hope to be able to purchase it. Thank you.
    -Concerned customer

    Except it was on itunes, otherwise that link wouldn't exist, and it wouldn't state that the movie was in the top ten retals. So the company had to have given the rights to sell to itunes before now, and since it is still showing up on the apple main site as being accessable, despite not exisiting in iTunes, the movie must have already been on itunes.
    I'm not "waiting" for the initial release of this movie and being impatient, I'm frustrated because apple says its available but iTunes says it isn't. I just want the movie in a digital form. Thats all I'm asking.
    I'm asking here because there is no way I have found to get my question into the fortknox that is the Apple/itunes customer service.

  • Why did the movie I rented from iTunes freeze and will not download?

    I just rented a movie from the iTunes store and downloaded it.  The download completed and I began watching the movie.  Over an hour and a half into the movie it froze and now says an unknown error occured while downloading (even though no error message displayed before starting the movie) .  Why is this?  How do I get a refund or have the movie download properly?  My connection is great just fyi.

    As I mentioned in the first post.  It shoudl be in the videos app.
    Itunes is only the itunes music and video store.  Nothing is stored there.
    You need to open the videos app.
    Have a look at the manual:
    iPad User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software)

  • Why does the move command move down instead of up?

    When I have an object selected and hit "Enter" it brings up the "Move" dialog box... why do positive vertical numbers move the item down and negative move it up?
    It was opposite before (going through Illustrator 3 through CS.) Is there a way to change it back?

    Tilde,
    They have reversed the Y axis. But you can unreverse it and get back to what you are used to.
    To change the ruler origin (and direction of the Y axis) in CS5 - CC(2014) to be the same as in CS4 and earlier, you may:
    A) Install and run the script in the OP of this thread,http://forums.adobe.com/thread/890507?tstart=30
    or
    B) Manually change the relevant preference settings as follows:
    0) Close down Illy (you can only change the preference file with Illy closed);
    1) Find and open the AIPrefs (Win speak) or Adobe Illustrator Prefs (Mac speak) file withe a text editor like Notepad or TextEdit; the preference file is a (hidden) file in the (hidden) folder Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings
    2): Find and change the following two bits of code:
    /isRulerOriginTopLeft 1 >>> /isRulerOriginTopLeft 0 (change 1 to 0)
    /isRulerIn4thQuad 1 >>> /isRulerIn4thQuad 0 (change 1 to 0)
    This is a global change so you only have to do it once (just as you can undo it once).
    You may find the folder as described in <em><strong><a href="http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Move the folder</span></a></strong></em>.

  • Why do the movies i have bought from itunes store the sound cuts out and glitches?

    The sound cuts out of the movies I have bought. Can anyone tell me why?

    You can't. Sorry. Encrypted movies in no way can be played back thru the VGA adapter.
    You could do the following:
    - get the Apple TV and stream the video to it. If you only have VGA input in your protector, get a HDMI -> VGA converter box. I use the one at http://www.dealextreme.com/p/hdmi-to-vga-video-converter-71816 for this purpose. It's pretty cool for the price - nevertheless, there're better models for more money; let me know if you need further recommendations on them. (Note that I haven't tested this unit with a direct HDMI output from the iPad yet. Will do it soon.)
    - if the projector does have HDMI input, test it with the HDMI adapter. Hope the projector supports HDCP.

  • Why has The Movies started downloading again?

    I purchased The Movies Superstar Edition from the Mac App store last week - have been playing it over the course of the week.  Then today I turn on my iMac (just bought last week, 27" 3.2ghz) and it's no longer installed and it's a paused new download in my purchases.
    Why has it just disappeared and suddenly acting like i've never downloaded it before??

    It's not hidden, as I can see it in the list, however it no longer says installed, it says RESUME and is paused with 0MB downloaded, despite the fact I already downloaded it a week ago.  The file is also unusable from Applications as it's greyed out as it thinks I haven't downloaded it.
    It is now doing the same thing again, this time with The Witcher 2.  All 21 GB of it which I already downloaded earlier today, and is now sitting as RESUME with 12.5 MB of 21 GB downloaded.
    What is going on?
    I can't be expected to redownload everything constantly, especially at 12 and 21 GB's a go!!

  • Why  are the movies $1 more on apple tv than itunes??

    i was looking on my itunes to day & saw the movies where cheaper on itunes, so why did i pay $129 for the apple tv when & can run my 4m hdmi in to my bravia ?????

    Just to clarify:
    Within the itunes store you can buy movies in:
    480p (standard def.)  = cheapest option
    720p (HD) = Generally $1 more (if available to download in the first place, as not all titles are avail in HD)
    1080p (HD) = Same price as 720p
    On an ATV, by default you only have the option to purchase movies in HD (at the prices noted above), provided an HD format is available in the first place.
    On an ATV-2, you cannot access 1080p rentals at any time (if you try a work around with itunes, you will be dissapointed...  https://discussions.apple.com/message/18013054#18013054)
    To access 1080p rentals within itunes, you must choose to download the higher stream (BUT FIRST)...
    -you must turn on 1080p downloads:
    1)open settings menu
    2) go to preferences
    3) click store
    4)change the default HD videos preference (shown below)

  • Why is the movie Anchorman not available in itunes?

    Why are certain movies not available?

    Because the studio that owns the rights to the film doesn't want to put it on iTunes, or may not have liked the terms of Apple doing so.
