> any video image with considerably more than 480 vertical lines

480p is not considered HD, technically or otherwise. Demand your money back.

>While there is no standardized meaning for high-definition, generally any video image with considerably more than 480 vertical lines (North America) or 576 vertical lines (Europe) is considered high-definition.

If there is no "Standardized Meaning" can you really go back and demand a refund?...curious, not trolling. :)

I think if you fail all common post-1970 definitions, then yes. Absolutely.

It's also a customer services process; there's never anything stopping you from demanding your money back. Just as they can tell you to buzz off. This seems well within the "worth a punt" category, here.

Out of curiosity, what happens when you buy a movie on YT? Do you download a physical file in a DRM-free format? Or is it something you can only watch inside the YT app, and only when you're logged into your account?

Oh sweet summer child.

>Oh sweet summer child.

who? the person with the legitimate question , or the person who doesn't seem to realize that some folks download anything they want from youtube, purchased videos included?

youtube-dl is great, and it makes you realize that video streaming sites aren't as ephemeral as the owners wish they'd be. Similar tools exist for Netflix.

Anyone that trusts these groups after things like the Amazon e-book removals probably should re-evaluate how they think property can work. Save what you can -- it won't be there tomorrow.

I download anything I want from youtube, but, for obvious reasons, I don't expect youtube to serve me with a direct download link for a movie I've rented.

Patronizing comments like this don't really have a place in any meaningful discussion.

Doesn't hurt to ask. Even Apple eventually made iTunes music downloads DRM-free, but I doubt they'd even consider it for video.

You can only watch it on YouTube when logged in; that's been my experience of buying films on there.

That's what I figured. Sad state of affairs. It's the same on Amazon Prime Video. You can download for offline viewing, but it can only be watched inside the app.
