dvd burning

[qwerty546]

i downloaded apacolypto from itunes and i wanted to burn it onto a dvd so i bought some blank dvds at bestbuy which the guy recommended. after burning it, i went to put it in the dvd player and it wouldnt work. it said it was corrupt or it couldnt read the disc. what should i do?

apple does not allow for movies bought from itunes to be burned to DVD and played on DVD players. The movie files are protected.

? apple movies are drm'd. the only thing on the apple store that aren't drm'd are some select music tracks.

as for the DVD make sure they are -R, at least the burner on my G5 and all my other macs only burn -R single Layer,

as for the movie encryption i dunno!:(

i'm gonna get banned for this but...

3 programs you need

toast (legal)
handbrake (legal, i think)
mac the ripper (ILLEGAL)

with these you can get anything to anything

At the moment, there is no way I am aware of to convert movies to be watched on a DVD player. There certainly is no legal way. This may change in the future, but the only non-DRM materials available on iTS are podcasts and music purchased through iTunes Plus. It has been stated explicitly, however, by Apple that movies and the MPAA are a different animal than music. As it stands, you can buy virtually any cd and not need to worry about DRM whereas there is no current legal way to obtain a movie that doesn't have some sort of DRM on it.
