Video's from ITunes

dmcmurdy · #1 September 29th, 2009, 09:45 PM

I purchase a lot of videos from ITunes. I have been trying to play these video's through Hoster and have been unsuccesful. Are these video's able to be played through Hoster? And is so, How would I go about doing that?? Just A general question. All help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Dave

What type of videos are they (AVI, MP4, MOV, etc.)?
Do you have the Codec installed for that type? If not then I suggest the K-Lite Codec Pack. It is free on the Internet.

I don't think it matters what type of codec you alreday have, because i-tune files (both audio and video) are DRM encrypted and will not play in any other computer or in any other program.

I just played one although it was a children's video and not a music video, so I don't know if that will work or not.

I agree, I think the problem is something to do with Itunes only allowing those Videos to be played in Itunes or Ipod that they were purchased for.

It is a DRM issue, I am sure. You can send us one of these videos if you wish to support at mtu.com.

when you open i tunes select store tab then authorize computer

That's expensive?

billyo · #9 September 30th, 2009, 06:52 PM

yup , i don't buy movies or videos, if i watched it once i wont watch it again, i get bored so easy, if you're talking about my itunes library, i usually buy the first one hundred top tunes that comes out, cheaper than buying the whole album in which you can only play 1 or 2 tracks out of the whole album..

I think what we are saying is they are not supposed to work. That is the way i-tunes (Apple) sets it up. I could be wrong, however, but Apple has protected all it's files so they can only play in I-tunes (another apple product). They have done a good job at that.

Are your videos mp4?

Email it to him. He spelled out the address because we don't put email addresses in the correct format in here to keep them from being picked up by spammers. His address is "Support at mtu.com.
