So is this why iTunes doesn't have Avatar HD?

Actually, come to think of it, I think iTunes might stream movies to the Apple TV, which might have something to do with why they'd be affected by this.

I do know that they sell movies labeled as "HD," and I think those are 720p. They don't sell anything that's full HD, though. (Do you know of any way to get a full HD version of Avatar without buying a Blu-Ray drive?) Their copy of Avatar is 2.34 GB, while their HD version of a shorter movie (Star Trek) is 3.95 GB, so I'm guessing their version of Avatar isn't much better than DVD quality...

1.You can get a pirated one via internet(but that is illegal,don't do it)
2.h.264(HD) is always better than MPEG-2(DVD)
