Apple TV+ iTunes 4K Upgrades Thread (1 Viewer)

I'm very happy to report that my iTunes copy of Ran is still 4K/Dolby Vision and plays back as such. Not sure what happened to yours.

Mine is still 4K/Dolby Vision.

Kurosawa’s Ran has also downgraded to HD for some reason.

You’re in Canada so it might be a glitch there and not in the USA.

One more thing I noticed is that the iTunes Ran 4K digital isn't available for purchase here in the States.

Mine still says it’s 4k

Could well be.

Wonder what happened. It seems no longer available for purchase on Vudu either.

I’m just speculating but it looks like Lionsgate digital rights have expired.

I would call vudu customer service asap. Explain the issue and they should refund you immediately. That’s been my experience with them in these matters.

+1-888-554-8838

I did that and they quickly refunded the purchase. Thank you for the tip!

I find this part of the email puzzling: "Kindly do not purchase or rent the above-mentioned title again as we will not be able to refund it moving forward."

Holiday (1938) just upgraded to 4K SDR. Never expected that. Sony is stepping up their game.

Good luck with that. Vudu/FAH customer service has been horrible lately.

Interesting Apple TV does indicate 4K but when I play it ...only HD

Trainspotting is now 4K/Dolby Vision.

Where did you buy it? I bought it on Vudu so I didn't get a free upgrade. I'm hoping at some point I'll have an opportunity to repurchase in 4K. But in the meantime we still have the new transfer in HD on iTunes.

American Hustle 4K digital has finally upgraded with Dolby Vision now.

 

[TonyD]

Not mine. Looks like i added it on MA a little while ago

 

[Robert Crawford]

Cutthroat Island 4K digital is $4.99 on iTunes.

Be aware it's the same situation as Vudu. The picture has upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision but the audio has downgraded to 2.0. This was released theatrically in DTS and even the Laser Disc had an AC-3 (Dolby Digital) track.

Also of note, the movie now opens with a note about the new transfer but it misspells "restoration" as "restauration." The opening title music also seems to start while this note is still on screen.

It's a bit strange that you are getting only 44.1 kHz when it should be at least 48 kHz for PCM stereo from a streaming device.

Whoever did the remaster is using the Olde English spelling:

Probably something I need to adjust in settings, I don’t know.
