Hi,
I bought a DVD on Apple Store, which seems to be protected. I have no way to build a DVD so we can watch the DVD altogather (and no, watching it on the Mac screen is not an option).
There is something wrong there, as I got no warning (but my money was happily accepted). Do you know a (free) way to convert these protected films to a "standard" DVD?
Regards,
Bruno.

Welcome to the Apple Community
Thats absolutely prohibited.
Well, could I then get a refund for this useless video that we cannot see altogether, so I revert forever for usual DVDs, which can be read both on TV and on MAC, for nearly the same price?

Yes, you should be able to get a refund if it doesn't do anything it is supposed to do, but I doubt that's the case.
As it is a Family Video (SOS Fantomes in French / Glost Busters), I surely did not buy it for *me*. It was mostly for family. That is why playing on computer only does not do anything it was supposed to do: To allow us to spend good time *together*...
If you have a family, I am sure you understand what I mean.

I have a family, we watch all our iTunes purchases and rentals on our TV's through the Apple TV.
Well, this is not an option too. First buying something for the only and last video I will get there,
and second because we have some Linux boxes for kids (I did not insist on this at first, as it is
really the first time a video cannot be watched *together* and later *on will*). For instance if we
want to watch different videos (parents vs childs), or childs only, while my computer is locked.
Having around 500 DVD at home, all working everywhere, I cannot believe *one* shop (Apple)
could pretend to compete with Amazon, by linking video to one hardware only.
I did buy once only and failed to show the video to children... This is the *only* video which does
not play on my TV, by the way: Protected Japanese/French/UK all play fine... Apple Zone is
a new one :-(

Bruno.
