Amazon Video On DemandĪmazon’s Video On Demand service is one of the few movie services other than the iTunes Store that’s not actively hostile to the Mac. You can, however, burn purchased movies as data for backup purposes. Like all videos sold at the Store, you can’t burn movies in a form playable on a DVD player. During those 24 hours, you can watch the movie as many times as you like.
After you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish it the movie is automatically removed from you Mac after that period.
After you download a rental movie, you have 30 days to watch it. Library HD rentals cost $4, and new HD rentals cost $5 (iTunes Extras content is not available for rentals). ITunes StoreAs for rentals, standard-definition library titles cost $3, and new library titles in standard definition cost $4. Prices generally shake out as follow: standard-definition library titles cost $10 to purchase new standard-definition titles are $15 all HD titles cost $20 iTunes Extras movies, which contain bonus DVD-like material, cost $15 in SD format or $20 in HD (there are some exceptions to iTunes Extras pricing, however). Apple characterizes movies as being library (meaning older) or new. Many feature 5.1 surround-sound soundtracks as well.Īpple’s prices are based on a movie’s age and format. There are currently more than 280 HD movies, available in the 720p (1280 by 720) format. The Store sells and rents both standard definition and HD movies. You can transfer them to and play them on any computer authorized with the Apple ID used to purchase or rent the movie. Offering thousands of movies for purchase or rental, the Store’s movies are playable on a Mac, Windows PC, Apple TV, iPod, and iPhone. Of any source, the iTunes Store is the most Mac friendly. We can hardly begin without mentioning what the iTunes Store provides. Step up to the ticket booth and check out these options. Although outfits such asīlockbuster demand that their content be watched on devices that don’t bear the Apple brand, there are a handful of other sources for movies that you can play on your Mac.
But the Store isn’t the end-all-and-be all of online movie sources. Once you accept the notion of a Mac as a home media player, your next thoughts naturally turn to movies and, likely, the iTunes Store.
