Apple also announced that movie rentals will be available internationally later this year. Available Formats iTunes Store movie rentals have three formats. The available formats depend on the device you use to rent the movie: If you rent a movie using iTunes on your Mac or PC, and later decide you want a higher quality format, you must rent the movie again using your Apple TV. The download times for movies vary; your Internet connection speed affects the download duration. Purchase Options You cannot directly purchase movies you rent from the iTunes Store using your Mac or PC computer. If you want to buy a movie you've rented, you must buy it separately from the iTunes Store. Discounts are not available for buying movies you've previously rented. Movie Rental Terms iTunes Store movie rentals are subject to specific terms. These terms apply to iTunes Store movie rentals on all compatible devices, including: Mac or Windows computer with iTunes 7.6 or later iPhone Video-enabled iPod (iPod touch, iPod nano (3rd generation), or iPod classic) Apple TV Terms: You have 30 days to view the movie rental after the download completes. After 30 days, iTunes notifies you that your movie rental has expired, and automatically deletes the movie from its location. During the 30-day rental period, you can keep the movie on your computer, or transfer it to another compatible device. You have 24 hours to watch the movie rental after you first play it. You can view the movie rental as many times as you want within this 24-hour period. If you begin watching a movie rental before the download is complete, the 24-hour period starts at this time, instead of when the download completes. The movie rental period expires when the 30-day or 24-hour period is reached. At that point, iTunes automatically deletes the movie from its location. Conditions The device you use to rent the movie determines the movie rental conditions: Mac or PC computer: Movie rentals use the iTunes format.

While viewing your movie rentals in the Rented Movies section, you can change the duration display to show either the time remaining or the day and time the movie rental expires. Movie Rental Playback Movie rentals work just like other movies in iTunes. Double-click the movie in the Rented Movies section to begin playback.
