Apple Movie Rental Audio Problems

Anybody else rented a movie from iTunes on their Apple TV and had terrible audio problems? Right now the dialogue is not audible and the background music and sound is fine?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

I haven't had any problems with movies, but I did have a problem with a bad audio track on a TV show. If it's happening with only one move, that file is probably bad. You should go to the Purchase History section of your account information in iTunes and click the "Report a Problem" link for that movie, then report the audio problem to iTunes store support from there.

Are you listening to this movie in DD. It isn't possible for dialogue to be missing but other sound be there if you are only listening in stereo unless the file is bad in some way, but it is possible if you are listening in DD, it could still be a bad file but it could also be a bad connection or wrong setting on your audio system.

I suppose it's also possible that if you are listening in DPL that your audio system is also the problem as well as it being possible it is simply a bad file.

Forbidden Kingdom just did the same thing to me. No center channel audio on Dolby 5.1. Other movies are fine. I tried to report this online using the "report a problem" feature in itunes but when I go to submit the info it comes back and tells me "itunes cannot process your request at this time. Please try again later". That's since last night and now noon the next day, same response.

As a workaround, I've sent an email to apple but they sure don't make it easy to find out how to do that. Grumble, grumble.....

So much for "it just works!" Heh.
