Why can't iTUNES play movies over my Airport Express speakers

Airfoil can using its built in video program BUT I can't play movies I bought through iTUNES on it.

I think Macs are the best but they seem to be slipping as of late.

I want to use iTUNES and Front Row as my media centers but unless Apple can keep up with integrating ALL it hardware and software they are gimping themselves and ******* a lot of people off.

How can AIRFOIL make movies work over speakers attached to my Airport Express and Apple who invented it can't OR WON'T!!!!

Macbook-Intel 2.53 Ghz 4 gig RAM, Mac OS X (10.5.7), Mac Mini, MacBook Black and all around wireless Mac Home

You will need to use an TV interfaced to a AVR set up. That is what I do. The Airport Express is not configured to do movies audio - just tunes.

But I play movies through Airfoil Video Player using the speakers attached to my Airport Express and it syncs the sound perfectly!

Why can't Apple make iTunes or Front Row work the same?

Now I can't play the iTune videos using Airfoil because of the DRM which I wouldn't mind if I could play them the way I want using the speakers on my Express.

So Apple has crippled me 2 ways 1) No ovies using Airport Express speakers 2) Can't use the movies I purchased with the software that can do the job.
