Two sets of Subtitles
Just purchased "The Avengers" and there is two sets of subtitles on my movie?..I have checked all options on my TV, Apple TV and Computer. Anyone else having this issue?..

Also has anyone else noticed the quality control at apple slipping since Steve passed away? Could just be a coincidence as any company will lose quality as they grow and demand increases. But the fact that 2 of the last 3 movies I purchased in iTunes were faulty is not a good sign. I love apple products and I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come
I too called Customer Support and also received the same lame canned response to email the contact express support and wait 3-4 days for a response. Seems like word is catching on at Apple about their faulty subtitle issue and hesitant about reimbursing very-soon-to-be fleeting customers.
I guess my "report a problem" through iTunes
Store->View My Account->Purchase History
then find the item, and to the left of the item price there is a "report problem" link.
Anyway, it worked. I didn't get a repsonse or any email, all I know is I got a "Refund Credited" for $19.99.
I also downloaded the movie on my macbook...same issue.
Sad
Well looks like they did refund my purchase and then took the movie away. So now my account has not been credited back the amount and I dont have my movie anymore! This may very well be the last time I buy a movie off iTunes. I wanted "The Avengers!" Now I have an account that is 20 less and I dont have the movie I bought. F*&%KING ******!
Wow me too.
My appletv says I do not own the film.
It's still on my iPhone.
I think it may still be on my MBP.
Also, I used airplay to send it from phone to appletv. The subtitles are truly horrible
There is an opaque bar that comes up when the subtitles show.
I just want the movie to act right.
Are we the only ones ?
Gosh, you people are so impatient. Don't you think Apple and the movie companies want a working version up there so they can make money off you? It's probably a matter of having the department in the media company that did the encoding get it right, then sending the correct version back to Apple for them to put back on their web site so you can re-download it.
Just got my email from them confirming my refund in 5-7 business days. Movie is still on my Apple TV as of now and it still has the problem. Since they're refunding I went ahead an ordered the movie on bluray.
So does anyone know if there is going to be a "Good" version of The Avengers put up on iTunes? I got my creadit and like I said before, they took the movie back. I wanted my movie origanlly, just wanted one that works right.
What does patience have to do with it. I spent 20 dollars on a movie so I expect it to be what I paid for. If you bought a DVD or blu ray that was defective you would return it to the store you bought it from. This is te exact same thing their just isn't a physical disk. Besides why would I wait to hope they fixed something and then they don't and I'm stuck with it.
They are all identical because the two sets are burned into the movie, there is no way to switch them off, they are part of the picture, the subtitles and calosed captioning are both turned off on my apple TV and they still appear, they are also identical on the actual file playing back on Mac, iPad, iPhone ect - it's part of the finished movie, until they fix it we are stuck with them. The only fix is to put duck tape across your TV!
That's because they refunded you, it's still there with the same issue for everyone who hasn't been refunded. I wonder why in this case they don't just email their customers saying there is a problem and they are fixing it.
Yeah I got my refund, but I still have it on my iPhone 5 & Macbook.
It is gone from the AppleTV -- also this movie cannot be streamed from iCloud at-will like other movie purchases.
I think we are the only ones willing to complain about this issue.
Well this just keeps getting worse! They gave me a refund and had me purchase The Avengers again. Guess what?...Same issue! So they refund my money again and of course remove the movie. I think they are missing the picture. I would like to have the movie. Just want one that works properly and if I have to live with double subtitles then I should at the very least get refunded for it. Man iTunes is seriously going down the tubes. 😐
Guess you didnt read the post. They had me re-download it. They are not saying anything about it having problems. They are treating it like I am some sort of isolated case and just re-downloading it would do the trick. So I got a refund and was instructed to down load it again. Then they just have to give me a refund. One big circle.
Interesting thing happened:
If you go to iTunes Store Support, fill out a case report and submit and then go into Service and Support and view all your submitted cases, the case I just filled out is marked as "Closed".
I didn't even get an email from Apple acknowledging that I submitted a report.
If I do a search by the case number, it also says "Closed".
