Extend 24 hour movie rental period on iPods
Authored by: Mike Perry on Jan 25, '08 08:28:01AM

The real problem is this 'watch within 24-hours' rule. Someone who starts watching a movie when they get home from work one evening and gets interrupted doesn't want to be forced to watch the rest before that same time the next evening. They simply can't get home from work any earlier. Much the same is true of someone who'd like to watch a two-hour movie in sections each day as they commute 1/2 hour to work.

Amazon has the same problem. Both need to extent that 24-hours out to a week and allow as many watchings as a renter wants during that time. That'd make renting online comparable to renting a DVD and it wouldn't cost them a penny more. The only restriction they should be concerned about is the limit on what it can be watched on.

Well, apparently as long as you keep your movie paused you can still watch it outside of that 24 hour window. If you want to listen to music while at work, but watch that movie while commuting as in your example, I guess Handbrake is the way to go.
