rogabean Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 here is the writeup from MacWorld: "But there is one more thing," said Jobs. "And that is movies. Today I want to talk about adding movies to the iTunes Store and the whole iTunes-iPod experience. Today we're starting out with films from Disney, Pixar, Touchstone and Miramax -- four studios owned by Walt Disney Co." The service launches with more than 75 films online, starting today. Apple is adding more, including Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Cars. New releases are priced at $12.99 for pre-orders and during their first week of release, the same time they're available for purchase on DVD. After that they increase to $14.99, though older "library titles" will be priced at $9.99 every day. Movies available for download from the iTunes Store are shown at 640 x 480 resolution in "near-DVD quality," according to Jobs. Jobs said that if you have 5 Megabit per second broadband service -- not uncommon for cable modem users -- you can expect to download a full-length movie in roughly a half an hour. What's more, you can start watching the movie in as little as a minute, while it's still downloading. To ease that process, iTunes now has a Download Manager that lets you watch items you're downloading from the store, and you can switch priorities if you're downloading multiple files. Jobs described the audio quality as "Dolby Surround." Usage rights for movies purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Store are the same as the TV shows -- so you can't burn them to disc, though you can share them among multiple authorized computers and video iPods. And parental controls have been updated with MPAA ratings. "We hope to take this international in 2007," added Jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogabean Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Bob Iger openly [verbally] masturbating on stage.... oh no, hang on, i might have imagined that Bob Iger of Disney takes stage, and recaps what Jobs has already said. *GAG* Insert one word and you haven't imagined anything. Jobs then introduced Disney President and CEO Bob Iger. He called Disney and Apple's first partnership to bring TV shows to the iTunes Store last year "a breakthrough," and added that "the marriage of great content and great technology -- and of great user interface -- is truly a killer application."
