Digital Copy of movie not playing

[tcminga]

I have recently put the digital copy of a movie on my Droid, and every time I go to Gallery to play it, it says 'Sorry, this video can not be played.' The details of said movie show it as an MP4, so I don't see why it shouldn't be playing. I downloaded the digital copy to iTunes, and from there drag-and-dropped it to the Droid's memory. Any suggestions as to what I should do?

Try a different movie player. See what's in the market.

From another thread:

I currently have an iPhone but my droid is coming in on Wednesday and I was wondering if I can use my iTunes videos? if not, can I at least use my converted mp4s? I convert in 480x360 or 640x480.

Your converted movies should play fine, however, the ones purchased through iTunes as well as "Digital Copy" ones are linked to your iTunes account, and will only play in iTunes that is "Authorized" to your account. The Droid (as well as all other non-apple devices) does not have this activation system, and will not play these files. Even if you transfer your purchased videos to a different computer with iTunes, if that computer is not "Authorized" with your account, it will also not play those files.
TuneBite, as well as other commercial iTunes DRM removal tools run on your "Authorized" computer, and play the file while recording, similar as dubbing VHS tapes or recording a VHS to DVD using a standalone DVD burner.
In my opinion, it is easier to just rent the DVDs and convert them.
