Just realized I have 645 movies.
Looks like Im pretty much siamese twined to Apple for years to come.
Now... if iTunes would only allow android products to fully integrate and share all iTunes media. THAT would be earth shattering, outdoing the 1982 breakup of Ma Bell System.


Thread title fixed - "r in your" changed to "are in your" - If I saw that one more time, I was going to have to track down sportage & throw goat poop at him. -DrPizza

Yes, Apple has a monopolistic grasp over all digital transmission of film. You had no choice in your purchases. Everyone knows this.

2, both DVD's that I ripped last night with the intention of watching today.

I only ever add movies to the iTunes library when I want to copy over DVD rips or downloaded tv shows onto my iPad (because it's not possible to do without going through the iTunes machinations of adding something to the local library, syncing my iPad, and then deleting it from the local library after the tablet has been unplugged)

edit: this article has me thinking about dropping iTunes entirely now... I knew I could sync videos/music with MediaMonkey, but I didn't know there were third party apps to sync app data as well (and I figured as long as I had to use iTunes to load comics onto my iPad, may as well use it for movies too)

None. I don't buy movies off iTunes because of the DRM, which IIRC is still quite restrictive. I have a few DVD rips that I keep on a 32GB SD card. Beauty of jailbreaking.

0. I gave up collecting movies a long time ago, I rarely watch something twice. For those very rare movies I want to watch again I buy a BR. Only time I have something in iTunes is when I've rented something I want to watch at work so I'll rip it and put it on my iPad.

I have 8.

I purchased the Harry Potter film collection when it was priced wrong a couple of weeks ago for $10.

I have a few TV shows, but those were always free ones that were used for promotion of shows.

But, 645, seriously? I've never "owned" 645 movies in my lifetime.

That's a pretty impressive movie collection. I spend around $5000 per year on itunes purchases and only have 372 movies. I've got several thousand TV shows though.

Zero. iTunes for Windows was horrendous the last time I used it. I buy my movies on DVD/BluRay.

I think I have like 200 iTunes movies. Most are just digital copies of my BD's. Definitely love the portable copy and works beautifully with all my idevices.

Zero. I rented for a while, then we started blowing our bandwidth limit all the time. At $2.00 per extra Gb, it wasn't worth it. I can buy the Blu-ray for the same price after a few months on Amazon.

zero. I don't have any DVD/BR either. There are very few moves that I would want to watch multiple times and never enough times to justify the price.

Friends don't let friends install iTunes.
