Sep 14, 2015 7:47 PM in response to tpalumbo21by Limnos,I presume you mean commercial movies. It is illegal in the USA and most other countries to do that (yes, even if you own the DVD -- thank your powerful media companies for influencing your legislators for getting that one passed) to the extent it is a prohibited topic in this forum (see Terms of use). Technically you are supposed to buy the movie again in digital form. Some movies comes with a content code on the box and let you download the movie from a place such as iTunes. You can try to re-download the movie if you have lost your copy though not all studios allow that. It is a prime reason why you must make backups of everything you buy on a hard drive. Re-downloading is a convenience, not a backup substitute.
Download past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud - https://support.apple.com/HT201272 - "With iTunes in the Cloud, you can access your past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store." - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - https://support.apple.com/kb/HT204632); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks, alert tones, rental movies), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). http://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/us/terms.html - "Some iTunes Products, including but not limited to Content rentals, may be downloaded only once and cannot be replaced if lost for any reason. It is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage iTunes Products once downloaded, and you may wish to back them up."
