can an ipod in the uk have films on it? i mean full feature films like pirates of the carribean etc. because on the itunes store you cant buy films on the uk site but you can on the usa site? so if i bought a movie of the usa site would i still be able to use it on my ipod? i just thought it maybe different from the usa one?
I believe the plan for the Movies is to roll them out to other stores in 2007. Whether or even if the UK store gets them in 2007 will depend on the negotiations with the film distributors for the region. In the meantime if you put "DVD to iPod" into the "Search Discussions" box you'll get many posts on converting your DVDs to iPod format.
"if i bought a movie of the usa site would i still be able to use it on my ipod?"
From a technical points of view the answer is yes, your iPod can play movies from the US store. However, unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country
and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content,
not just the iTMS.
