Purchase or Rent Videos and Download Video Podcasts from the iTunes Store To purchase videos-movies, TV shows, and music videos-or rent movies online from the iTunes Store (part of iTunes and available in some countries only), you sign in to your iTunes Store account, find the videos you want, and then buy or rent them. A rented movie expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it (rental requirements may vary outside the U.S.), whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. These terms apply to U.S. rentals. Rental terms vary among countries. To enter the iTunes Store, open iTunes and click iTunes Store (under Store) on the left side of the iTunes window. You can view a movie trailer or TV show preview by clicking the button next to it. Purchased videos appear when you select Movies or TV shows (under Library) or Purchased (under Store) in the list on the left side of the iTunes window. Rented videos appear when you select Rented Movies (under Library). Some items have other options, such as TV shows that let you buy a Season Pass for all episodes. Video podcasts appear along with other podcasts in the iTunes Store. You can subscribe to them and download them just as you would other podcasts. You don't need an iTunes Store account to download podcasts. See "Purchase Songs and Download Podcasts Using the iTunes Store" on page 17. Create Versions of Your Own Videos to Work with iPod classic You can view other video files on iPod classic, such as videos you create in iMovie on a Mac or videos you download from the Internet. Import the video into iTunes, convert it for use with iPod classic, if necessary, and then add it to iPod classic. iTunes supports many of the video formats that QuickTime supports. For more information, see "If you can't add a song or other item to iPod classic" on page 62. Some videos may be ready for use with iPod classic after you import them to iTunes. If you try to add a video to iPod classic (see "Syncing Videos Automatically" on page 24), and a message says the video can't play on iPod classic, then you must convert the video for use with iPod classic. Depending on the length and content of a video, converting it for use with iPod classic can take several minutes to several hours. When you create a video for use with iPod classic, the original video also remains in your iTunes library. For more information about converting video for iPod classic, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help, or go to www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n302758. 20 Chapter 2 Setting Up iPod classic
