in iPod + iTunes + AppleTV edited January 2014
My scenario goes as such: my nano just broke due to image burn in on the LCD screen, so I need a new iPod. I'm going to be getting a Macbook for school in a few weeks, and Apple has that $200 rebate program for iPods, so I'm probably just gonna get a 30GB video.



But here's my question: if I buy a movie or show off of iTunes, can I burn it to a DVD, or am I stuck watching it on my laptop/iPod?



Thanks.

    At the present time, no, you cannot.

    While not ideal, you can get an adaptor that allows you to connect your MacBook to a TV. I've watched various TV shows on my 32" this way and they look great. Not HD (yet) but nor is my cable.

    Okay, one more thing: can DVD burning software burn the shows/videos and would the DRM allow the files to be played on a conventional DVD player?

    No, it cannot. Just buy a $19 DVI adapter for your MacBook.

    How about getting the cable that allows you to play the video from the iPod. Works well.



    DLO Homedock gives you a dock with a remote that will allow you to select movies from your iPod to play on a SD tv.



    Enjoy the new iPod !
