Hi,
Perhaps, but prior to streaming content, those copies were physical items
with the possibility of easy copying and duplication a great deal more
difficult. certainly not in digital quality.
If your goal is one that would fall under the license agreement, then this
should be no issue for you.

Agreed in principle, but teachers have been showing videos purchased by them or
through their schools for decades. So such restrictions, insofar as for
educational purposes, is a step backwards, not forwards.

Hi,
It looks like they’ve changed some things around a bit or I’ve got some things
backwards. When the movie is downloaded, you are correct in that it only shows
the versions of HD available. If the movie is up in the Cloud,, that is, it's
not yet downloaded, the SD version is available in the Video Quality menu. So,
you could either stream it from the Cloud or download the SD version and see if
that works through the projector. I’m surprised that other digital movie
providers do not have some sort of DRM restricting this as well. The license
agreement says that the movie is for personal use only, thus, this was a method
of restricting the ability of users to project to larger audiences.

It appears to be downloaded. Other movies in the cloud have a download button
next to them, while this one does not. Perhaps it is because it was originally
purchased on the iPhone?

Hi,
Is the video downloaded to the local machine or still in the Cloud? When
iTunes downloads the video to the local machine, it downloads both versions.

When I go into the video quality submenu, it is only offering two HD versions:
Default HD 1080 P and High Definition 720 P

Hi,
I’ve seen this with HD movies purchased from iTunes. There are threads on the
Internet talking about it that I browsed sometime during last Fall.
Supposedly, if you view the SD version instead of the HD version,, iTunes will
allow many of the projectors to show the content. All Movie/TV purchases
downloaded from iTunes also include the SD (Standard Definition) version along
with the HD version. To access the SD version, navigate to the Movie or TV
show, press VO-shift-m to bring up the Contextual menu and go to the Video
Quality item. Select SD from there and see if it works. Not promising
anything, just recall reading this somewhere.

Sounds a bit odd. What was the connection from your MacBook to the projector? I
know there is a bag of hurt around HDMI and HD video DRM but if you were using
the analog VGA connection that shouldn't have had anything to do with it.

Hello all. In the past, I have been able to connect my MacBook to a projector
and play any movies in my iTunes library. However, (and it has been months
since I did this), today it did not work. The movie would play on the computer
itself, but as soon as the projector was connected, it would stop. (The
projector is not broken; it plays when connected to other devices.)
I had two tech-savvy individuals try to get it to play, using mirroring, VLC,
and connecting to an Apple TV in our building's media lab. However, I am told
that:
1. Because of the Motion PIcture Association of America, Apple has placed new
restrictions on movies downloaded from the iTunes store, and it is no longer
possible to connect them to a projector and play them easily. (This makes no
sense, since from what I understand from others, movies bought through Google,
Amazon, Hulu, etc., play just fine when connected to a projector.)
2. The Apple TV must be one that I myself can log onto; essentially, I cannot
use any but my own Apple TV to play my movies.
3. My only other option is to get an Apple projector.
Is this all accurate? Is there a workaround?
