digital copy comes in either .mp4 and .wma format. I'm not familiar with what formats are supported on Zune, but if neither are then you're out of luck unless you are able to convert the file to a different format.

Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM. And Hollywood wonders why people pirate their movies! You're a legit costumer, just wants to put it on your Zune. It'd be easier if you just DLed the movie off The Pirate Bay to tell ya the truth!

What is this digital copy? For watching it on your ipod?

Not just ipod. You can also watch it on your computer. And you can upload it too. hehe, just kidding.

 

[Valerie_f4]

I knew you were joking, because I just watched it on my computer eariler. What's the point of having a digital copy?

Well, like some people here, you can watch it on your iphone, ipod, computer, etc. and you also don't need to rip the DVD yourself to have it in digital form because they did it for you. Isn't that nice from WB?

The picture on the iPhone is amazing. The sound is much better in headphones, though.

 

[SuperZer0]

Just curious, can you take pictures of the movie while watching?

That way you can watch it on your computer without having to constantly insert and remove the disc over and over. Also so you can watch it on your video enabled iPod, iPhone, and any other device similar to them that supports the format. You can also upload it a lot of devices, mainly through Apple. I think they have Apple tvs you can upload your files onto, so you could watch it on tv.

Overall, the quality is good. Headphones always improve the sound with digital copies. For some reason, video files always have lower sound quality than your simple music file.

Are you talking about the iPhone?

Are you talking about the iPhone?

Yes

 

[Double Down]

I couldn't figure out how to do it. I don't think it's possible.

Ok seriously this is getting me frustrated. Alllll I'm getting anytime I try to transfer the Digital Copy is "Cannot acquire license for requested files. Please try again later. "

Anyone else having a similar problem and got through later or what?

 

[bluedragon77]

i got it on the first try..

Speaking of the digital copy, the one that came with the Blu-ray has the switching aspect ratio for the IMAX scenes. I wonder if the DVD digital copy has only one aspect ratio (like the DVD) or if it's the same digital copy as the one that came with the Blu-ray?

It switches.

 

[redfirebird2008]

It switches.

Cool. So they just did a rip of the Blu-ray for everyone. That's cool. I think they should have done that for the actual DVD transfer too.

just to clear the air, is yours a legal copy that YOU paid for?

needing a license usually refers to programs that have a one-user code and that's an error when it's already been used by someone else. i've never had a digital copy before, so idk.

Google "The Dark Knight Torrent". You're a victim of DRM. Just get the pirated version, it'll make things a lot easier. You tried to do it the legal way, but WB and every other studio screws over legit costumers like you all the time, by wrapping their content in broken DRM.

Yeah, I have the 2 Disc edition with the digital copy included (and the little authorization code is on the inside of the DVD case)

I know about all that stuff, but I wanna see how this Digital Copy stuff works. I really just want to try it out since it's the first movie I bought that includes a 'Digital Copy' But lame how it's not actually going through (for the last 2 1/2 days )

I guess I'm under the impression that the 'Digital Copy' may have better quality than the other version I can grab? Or is that not the case?

As the saying goes, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." t: It's their way of having a digital version available for people while still controlling distribution.

It might be actual IMAX aspect ratio, I'm not sure. Even the Blu-ray has some cropping.

The digital copy is 2GB. A DVD normally carries 4.7GB. The "other" versions, from the Blu-ray, come in 8GB and 40GB (from what I've read, I actually have not looked for the 40GB since I don't have the harddrive space).

Make your own conclusions about the quality.
