Will digital copies from blu-rays stream on apple tv in full hd?

Will my iTunes digital copies from blu-rays stream on the new apple tv in full hd? I have some right now on my apple tv 2 that stream from the cloud but do not appear to be in 720p. Can someone help me clarify?

It probably depends on the specific digital copy, but all of the ones I've ever gotten have been SD, not HD, I would guess that the movie studio expects you to play the Blu-Ray disk if you want HD and so provides SD for portable devices.
Regards.

Can't play digital copy from blu-ray titles on iTunes 9.0.2.25?

I tried to download and watch the digital copy of Star Trek that is included with my Blu-ray. It prompted me to enter my authorization code then had me log into the iTunes store. It seemed to download the movie fine (the download progress bar filled). When I tried to play the movie, it just brought up a gray window with no picture or audio. The progress bar and time indicator seemed to progress properly. The chapter selection menu showed the correct thumbnail pics. But there was only the gray screen with the control panel buttons on the bottom.
Trying to sync with my iTouch told me it was not copied to my iTouch because I am not authorized to play it on this computer?
I tried the same with Wathchmen with the same results. I was able to view the movie fine with the Windows Media version of the digital copy.
I'm running Windows XP Pro. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I use the 32-bit version but noticed the same behavior. I found that if I started iTunes from the Start Menu I could right-click the icon on the Taskbar and selected Pin to Taskbar. Worked perfectly with full Win7 integration.
As you know, the pin function prior to 9.0.2.25, allowed pinning from a shortcut. I've found other anomalies also so I wouldn't be surprised if a newer update will be pushed out soon.

1080p downloads from Blu Ray digital copies available?

I have a number of digital copies from Blu Rays I've purchased, and I'm curious if I can redownload them in 1080p.
So far, after removing them and redownloading them from the Cloud on my MacBook, the answer is no.
For example, I tried to do this with Star Trek, which is definitely available in HD. If I remove the movie and try to redownload it, it only downloads in SD.
I set my store preferences to download in 1080p when available as well.
Is doing what I'm trying to do undoable? I'd really like to update my digital copies to HD versions now that they're available.

This seems a common problem. I have the latest iTunes; got Night at the Museum; redeemed code and straight away got this same error. I de-authorised this account and reauthorised and it worked. Not sure that I have to do this each time, but hopefully iTunes bug fix is coming...

Trying to Create DVD from Blu-Ray Project

I'm a fairly new user to Encore CS4.   I was able to successfully create a Blu-Ray project using HD video - the actual video is a little over 3 hours.   It took about 30 hours for the project to transcode and burn.   I'm now trying to take that same project and created a single layer DVD.   I'm really struggling with this even though the software says I should be able to do this.    So I set all my settings up to create the DVD and started the process.   It was trancoding the video for 6 straight days!!!!!    When it finally got finished with the transcoding process I got an error that said this aspect ration was not supported by DVD!!!   So I'm confused at what I'm doing wrong.   First, I don't think the transcoding process should be taking that long.   Second, if the aspect ration is not correct, could it tell me that before it spends 6 days transcoding the video?    Third, I'm trying to burn the DVD using the same 16:6 widescreen aspect ratio, so I'm not sure why it's telling me the aspect ratio is not correct.    But what frustrates me the most is that it took wasted days before the software told me it didn't like the aspect ratio.
I know there's products on the market that will basically copy a Blu Ray to a DVD and are supposed to do that in something like 4 -5 hours. Why on earth would Encore be taking 6 days to transcode my video.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try these suggestions next. I had found a post from "janaiott" suggesting to select "interpret footage" then choose "conform to SD NTSC Widescreen".   They said that worked for them.   This post was titled "Use the same project to export to both BR and DVD?"
I tried that and restarted the build. The video transcoding went much quicker - instead of running for 6 days it finished in 2 days.   However, at the end of the transcode process I once again recieved the aspect ratio error.   My exact error is:
PGD "Sequence 01/Band.prproj" has an error at 88.8888s. The aspect ratio of this file is not supported by DVD. - PGC info: Sequence 01/Band.prproj =Bpgc, time=88.8888s.
I'm still just baffled why Encore can't be smart enough to tell me it doesn't like what I'm doing before it spends all that time - what a waste of time! I really don't mind waiting 2 days as long it works
If anyone else has any suggestions, please post - but I will move on to the next suggestion and see what happens. Just too bad it will take at least 2 days to know whether it works or not

APE11 will not recognize any blu-ray media

I have APE11 and attempting to burn a project to blu-ray. My problem is that APE11 recognizes the blu-ray burner but will not recognize any blu-ray discs. I have tried various BD-R and BD-R DL discs to no avail. I receive a "Media not present" message. If I select the same burner but choose to create a DVD, I receive a "Incompatible disc" message. This leads me that it sees the discs but I'm not sure what's up with the blu-ray option. The blu-ray discs are Verbatim and Windows recognizes the discs as well. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

robertjeffrey
What Blu-ray burner do you have? Is it recognized in the Device Manager under DVD/CD-ROM drives? Driver and Firmware up to date?
What burn software came with the Blu-ray burner? If it is part of the CyberLink family, can you use the PowerProducer of the series to burn to Blu-ray disc format on a Blu-ray disc using these Blu-ray discs that Premiere Elements burn dialog is labelling "Media Not Present"? I would like to see the results of that test if possible.
Just to get it out of the way (maybe helpful), let us flush the preferences...
Assuming your Premiere Elements 11 is on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit....
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11
and in the 11 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs Folder that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11 Folder in which it exists.Make sure that you are working with Folder Options/Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path described.
If that does not work, a complete Deactivation from Help Menu/Deactivate followed by the usual Control Panel uninstalled followed by reinstall may be in order. I am hoping the results from a CyberLink PowerProducer burn to may give us some valuable information so that we do not have to resort to uninstall/reinstall.
Are you using BD-R 25 GB 2X? What is this BD-R DL? Is that the 50 GB for Blu-ray? Do you have any BD-RE 25 GB 6X? How much are you planning on putting on this Blu-ray disc in terms of Space Required and duration?
Let us start here and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

How do I get digital copies from my computer to show up on my AppleTV without having my computer on? Is there a way to get them to appear under purchased?

How do I get digital copies from my computer to show up on my AppleTV without having my computer on? Is there a way to get them to appear under purchased?

Actually, if you mean Apple/iTunes purchased content, you can go to the content area and go to Purchased... e.g. if you go to Movies > Purchased all the movies you have purchased through iTunes/Apple will appear there... ditto for Music, TV Shows, Music...
for local copies of media, computer needs to be on with iTunes running...

I downloaded two movies from itunes at the same time (both free digital copies from a dvd) and when they finished downloading... they disappeared. I've not been able to re-download them or find them.. anywhere. Any suggestions for tracking them down?

If you downloaded them on your computer's iTunes then they should have gone into the Movies part of your iTunes library, if on a device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then into the Videos app - they haven't appeared there ?
If you downloaded on your PC and they don't show in the Movies section then you could try searching for them by name (or part of their name) via windows explorer and see if that finds them. Or if you downloaded them on a device and they aren't in the Videos app then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them, and if not can you find them via the device's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?

G4 that will not boot from any disc EXCEPT the Apple Hardware Test CD

We have a DP 1ghz Quicksilver PowerMac G4 that will not boot from any disc EXCEPT the Apple Hardware Test CD that came with the machine.
We were in the process of installing 10.4 Tiger before placing it for sale.
The Mac was originally OSX Server 10.1 that we later converted to a worksation running 10.3 Panther.
It has 1 GB of memory, 80GB hardrive, 250MB Zip Drive and a Radeon 7500 video card.
Since this machine only has a CD-R drive and not a DVD-R, we installed Tiger using another Mac via Target Disk Mode. The installation process went well, but when I tried to reboot I got a Kernel Panic right after startup screen with the grey Apple logo.
On some reboots we get to the blue startup screen, others it stops at the grey Apple logo, others a black box like the a Kernel Panic - but with no text. Twice it went directly into Open Firmware.
We have done the following during our troubleshooting:
- Reseat RAM, Video Card, Hard Drive, Zip & CD-R connections
- Remove RAM 1 stick at a time and reboot
- Replace RAM with RAM from another working Quicksilver
- Replace Video Card with one from another working Quicksilver
- Zap PRAM
- Reset CUDA switch
- Unplug the MAC and remove everything (RAM, Battery, etc) for 30 minutes and try to reboot
- Tried booting from the Macintosh Server G4 Software Restore CD
- Tried booting from Mac OS X Server CD
- Tried booting from AppleCare Protection Plan CD with TechTool
- Tried booting from Diskwarrior CD
- Tried booting from an external FireWire drive with a disk image of Tiger OS Install
- Tried booting with the hard drive disconnected
The Mac WILL boot from the Apple Hardware Test CD and will pass ALL of the extended tests.

Conventional wisdom says that any Mac that will not boot up from a System/Install CD OS 9 or an Install CD Mac OS X, has a Hardware problem.
The diagnostic CD is a red herring because it uses a very primitive method of reading the CD, and so does not properly represent the machines general ability to read CDs.
I would look at the CD drive cables, etc, and see if another drive gives different results.
You have not mentioned using the Startup Manager (option key at Startup) to do any checking:

Will Compressor record on Blu-ray from iMovie.

Hi
I have a blu-ray recorder and want to know if I purches Compressor will it download to the Blu-ray recorder from iMovie?
Ta

I you export an HD movie from iMovie and bring that into Compressor as a source file and if you have a Blu Ray burner and the correct media, then the answer is yes; you can create a Blu Ray disk directly from Compressor.

PS: I may have made an incorrect assumption that by recorder you meant burner. If I did misunderstand, tell us what model that equipment is.

How do I move DVD digital copies from my iphone to a new computer's itunes account, same Apple ID?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I also have an iphone. My current main itunes is on a PC that I will not use any longer. I have several movies on my iphone which came with DVD's as digital copies, not purchased through itunes store.
In the past, I've lost these kinds of movie digital copies through syncing my phone on a new computer. I don't want this to happen again but I am totally lost since these are not itunes purchases.
How can I sync my iphone on my new mac's itunes and not "erase and replace" all the movies currently on my phone? Or how can I get them onto my Mac's itunes account so when I do sync my iphone, they'll still be there?
Thanks!

It's best to copy from your old computer to your new computer before syncing your phone with your new computer for the first time:
http://osxdaily.com/2010/03/21/copy-itunes-library-from-a-pc-to-a-mac/
If everything were from the iTunes Store, you could do this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1329
Since it's not all from the iTunes Store, you should copy your library from your old computer to your new one, as noted above. If that's not possible and you can use only your phone as the file source, you will need to use a third-party utility such as Senuti:

There are many similar utilities. Some work just as well as Senuti and are even free.

Media Smart DVD, not that smart.... Will only play some blu ray, not all.

When I get a computer with a blu ray player I expect it to play blu ray discs... all of them. It works with some but not all.
The discs it does not work with, what happens is it will ask me "Do you want to check for updates" and there will be a box to check yes or no. In the background it will say disc is ready to be played, just push play. Easy right? HECK NO.
If you check yes, it will do the little wait symbol and process the request checking for updates, then come right back and ask you again, a never ending circle of asking to check for updates. If you push NO, it will go away, then you have a couple options, one is open up the menu and see if there is actually an update... nope. no update there. the other option is do what it says and push play since it thinks the blu ray is ready to play. Once I push play it starts to think and pops up that "Do you want to check for updates" again. It is so frustrating. HEY HP, FIX THIS DUMB CIRCULAR TRAP THAT WONT LET ME WATCH BLU RAY.
And this is a major motion picture blu ray disc from block buster video. Not some copied random disc. So, I know it aint the disc.
This question was solved.

I am running into this same issue. I have a HPE-180t with a BD-RE BH20L Blu-Ray drive. I put in 'Scott Pilgrim vs The World' and got a message that asked if i wanted to update, to which I clicked 'NO' and then after about 5 sec of it seaching the drive it replied with "Format Not Supported". I ejected and reinserted a few times and tried another Blu-Ray movie (also The Expendables) and it gave me the same message.
I searched the internet and found a forum message with steps to uninstall the DVD portion of MediaSmart and reinstall using Recovery Manager, but after the uninstall now Recovery Manager will not open to reinstall HP MediaSmart DVD.
I then attempted a Windows System Restore to a few days prior, which went through the motions, but then had a failed message upon reboot.
I then ran the HP Support Assistant > Troubleshoot > Utilities> Storage Devices> Optical Drives and ran the test on the BH20L drive which failed in recognizing any Blu-Ray media (movie or blank BD-R). I had just used this drive a week ago to archive some photos onto the blank Blu-Ray media mentioned without issue.
Please help HP, this is really a nuisance for this seriously robust machine.
[edit]...Also I went out to the website for my system looking for any updates and the only one I installed was a BIOS update dated November 2010.

No Dialog (audio) from Blue Ray Player

I am running a Sharp BD-HP21U blue ray directly into a Mitsubishi LT-52149 HDTV with an HDMI cable. On all blue ray discs and some DVDs I only hear the background music/sound effects but no dialog. On some DVDs I get dialog. Same result with a different HDMI cable. I have tried different sound settings on the blue ray and TV but haven't found the right combination. My DirecTV (through an HDMI cable works fine).

I wonder if your player is set to 5.1...
Your TV is stereo, nothing more, so you won't get any sort of surround sound from it, and the TV or the player might be confused.
That's about as much as I can guess... one of the TV guru's should be along.

Why doesn't iTunes support Ultra-Violet digital copies from Paramount?

I am just wondering if there was a specific reason why iTunes did not accept Ultra Violet copies from Paramount? I am talking about movies to be downloaded to iTunes.

http://gigaom.com/video/ultraviolet-bad-reviews/
Here is some good news.
Technology experts are working on a movie storage system where YOU have physical possession of the movie.
This system stores the movie digitally on an optical disk system that will not be dependent upon a congested, complicated, and fragile network.
Because all of the data is stored only a few feet from your television, all the bottlenecks are removed. Performance and reliability are virtually flawless.
Further, the system will not utilize any form of security codes, authentications, or passwords. Once the optical disc is purchased it can be moved around freely at will, and can even be lent or given to friends and neighbors with zero hassles.

Will My Computer Play Blu-Ray and/or HD DVD's?

According to QT web sites, the new H.264 codex allows us to play HD
DVD's. Heck, I can't even get QT 7.1.5 to play ANY DVD's! However, it does do a fantastic job of playing Anamusic.mov which is at the low end of HD - 1280 x
720 which I downloaded from QT's HD web site.
So, would I be wasting money by buying a Blu-Ray disc? I still haven't decided on what stand-alone HD Player to buy just yet.
2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

QuickTime Player doesn't open DVD (MPEG-2 format).
It will also not open any HD disks.
Stick with the HD downloads if you want to view on your computer.
