Well listen to this. 1080p is the res 1920 x 1200, right? Or something like that. Only 24" monitors and above can support that kind of res. So thefore if you have anything below that, downloading 1080p would be pointless becuase you'd never see the full quality of the movie - it would just get scaled down so much you'd have big black lines above and below the image.

Also, they may be 720p movies but at 1.47GB.. god, the picture must be awful compared to a 5GB one.

Fair enough,

and, people who upload them have encoded them ^_^

I think the prices are outrageous to rent and buy a movie. To rent it's almost twice as much and to buy is even more! £3.50 approx to buy in America and yet they charge us £10 here! Absolutely stupid. I would rather go through the trouble of renting and ripping a dvd rather than pay such absurd prices, I bet the rental time is only about a week aswell.

Heard of different tax rates once they sell things in the UK? But Stutoman, nearly everything that gets released in the USA then gets brought out over here is dearer. Eg. Windows Vista, was like that. (Not the OEM versions.)

I rented iRobot and it was a 2 hour download, I got an hour into the download then clicked 'Pause all' as I was about to go, it then went 'iTunes has stopped working', it then closes it, and then when I load it up the movie has gone from Downloads and 'Rented movies' and I have to pay to rent it again, what can I do?

Also on Vista does anyone else regularly get 'iTunes has stopped working' messages?

Well you contact Apple explaining your situation. You normally get an email to your account set up in iTunes with a receipt.

Aha thanks for the idea, I clicked 'Support' and it said there was one download waiting to be completed, clicked 'Download Now' and it's finishing it now
