iTunes Rentals Not Fully Supported?!?!

January 18, 2008

So Wednesday I downloading Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End from the iTunes Store as my first digital rental.  It took a little less than four hours to download the movie (which was most likely my Internet connection) which isn’t bad because it is a three hour movie so it almost downloaded in real time.  I haven’t actually started watching it yet because I don’t have time to finish it within 24 hours so I have just been messing around with the file itself.

It shows up in it’s own category in the iTunes sidebar so you know exactly what is a rental and what you own.  Right now I can’t see the movie on my AppleTV but I’m guessing that the software update this month will fix this problem so I will hold off complaining about that until later.  However, the thing I can’t figure out is that I can’t sync the file to my iPod Nano.  WTF Apple!  I though that the file should be used anywhere on my set of Apple products.  I guess I’ll watch the movie when the AppleTV Take One(v1.0 or whatever we are going to call it) update occurs because I really don’t want to watch a three hour movie on my laptop.  :-(
