Movies Anywhere For PC (Windows & MAC) October 27, 2017 By Pixie Leave a Comment Movies Anywhere is an application that will allow us to have all the movies we have bought in digital format in one place. Movies Anywhere lets you seamlessly store your favorite movies in one place so you can watch them when and where you want. Build your digital collection.
Amazon Prime The Amazon Video app available for, and Amazon’s own Kindle Fires allows you to download videos to your device so you can watch them offline. Just download the app and sign in with your Amazon account. Find the movie or TV show you want to watch and tap the “Download” button to the right of it. Downloaded videos will appear in the “Downloads” section of the app later, so you can open the app and watch them–even without an Internet connection. This feature is only available in the Amazon Video apps for iOS, Android, and Amazon’s Fire OS. You can’t do this from the website, so you can’t do it on a laptop. You need a smartphone or a tablet–and not a Windows tablet. YouTube Red YouTube offers this feature, but only if you pay for YouTube Red (which actually isn’t a bad deal if you use Google Play Music, which is included–you get both Google Play Music’s music library as well as YouTube Red for the same price you’d pay for Spotify or Apple Music.) To download a video, open the YouTube app on an, or and tap the menu button next to a video.
Tap “Save Offline” and you’ll be prompted to choose which resolution you want to download the video in. Higher resolutions offer a better quality video, but take more space on your device. You’ll find the videos you saved for offline use under the profile tab. Tap “Offline Videos” and you’ll see a list of videos you can watch offline.
This feature is only available in the YouTube app for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. You can’t do this from the YouTube website, so you can’t do it on a laptop. Video Rentals and Purchases Amazon and YouTube both offer this feature as part of their streaming plans, which is convenient. However, you can gain access to a much wider selection of videos if you’re willing to pay per video–either as a temporary rental or as a purchase you can watch as much as you want. This is also convenient because some of these services allow you to download videos to a Windows PC, Mac, or Chromebook. You can save videos and watch them on a laptop or a Windows tablet, while Amazon and YouTube only offer this feature in their mobile apps.

You have quite a few options here, including:. iTunes (Windows, Mac, iOS): Apple’s iTunes is available for and included on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It allows you to rent movies, purchase individual episodes or entire seasons of TV shows, or purchase movies. If you choose to rent a movie, you’ll have thirty days to start watching it. After you start watching it, you’ll have 24 hours to finish. If you plan on going for a trip, you can rent several movies from iTunes, download them to your Windows PC, Mac, iPhone, or iPad and get around to watching them any time within 30 days without an Internet connection.
If you purchase an episode of a TV show or entire movie, you can download it and watch it whenever you want with no expiration. Amazon Video (iOS, Android, Kindle Fire): In addition to the library of free videos available with Amazon Prime, Amazon allows you to rent and purchase individual movies and TV show episodes. However, you can’t download purchased videos to your computer for offline watching–you can only download them to the Amazon Video app on iOS, Android, or Kindle Fire. VUDU (iOS, Android): Walmart’s VUDU also allows you to rent and purchase movies and TV shows as well, but videos can only be downloaded to,. Laptop users are out of luck. Microsoft Windows Store (Windows 10): Windows 10 includes the Windows Store, and the Windows Store includes an entire “Movies & TV” section offering video rentals and purchases.
Videos you pay for can then be watched in the Movies & TV app included with Windows 10. This is the main alternative to iTunes for purchasing and watching videos offline on a Windows PC. Google Play Movies & TV (Android, iOS, Chrome OS): On, the Google Play Movies & TV app provides rentals of movie and TV shows.
The Google Play Movies & TV app is also available on, and both platforms allow you to download videos offline and watch them in the app. Google offers a that allows you to download and watch videos offline, but this feature only works on Chromebooks. It’s the only option for Chrome OS devices. Rip Your Own DVDs or Blu-rays RELATED: Lastly, if you have movies or TV shows on physical DVD or Blu-ray discs, you can “rip” them to digital video files you can more easily take with you.
Store these files on a laptop, smartphone, or tablet and you can watch them without taking the disc with you. You can rip DVDs and Blu-rays with a variety of programs, but we particularly like –it’s free, and contains presets for ripping files compatible with iPhone, iPad, Android, and more.
Netflix doesn’t yet offer this feature, but rumors suggest Netflix is working on it. If and when Netflix does offer this feature, it will likely work in a similar way to the Amazon Video and YouTube apps.

Google just with that will allow you to connect your iTunes, Amazon, and Vudu movie library with Google Play Movies. In other words, movies you purchase from any of these online retailers will be available for playback in the Google Play Movies app after a little setup. But the great part about this is that Google Play Movies — which is available for iOS, Android, on the web, and a slew of other platforms — has Chromecast functionality built-in, unlike iTunes.
So if you purchased Google's $35 streaming stick, or if you own, you'll actually be able to cast your iTunes movie purchases from your phone to the big screen. Once you get everything configured, of course. Don't Miss: Step 1: Get Movies Anywhere First up, if you're doing this from your mobile device, you'll need to get the Movies Anywhere app.
This isn't the Disney Movies Anywhere app, it's a separate thing. So head to one of the following links to get the app installed on your phone. Install the Movies Anywhere app:. If you're using Android, the process will be similar, except it will take place in a website.
From a PC or Mac, you'll have to open the link provided on the Movies Anywhere site using the iTunes app. Step 4: Attach Your Google Account Back on the Manage Retailers screen in the Movies Anywhere app, tap the 'Connect' button next to the Google Play entry. This will take you to a webpage where you should either select your primary Google account, or simply log in. After that, scroll down and tap 'Allow' at the bottom of the permissions page to give Movies Anywhere access to your Google Play account.
It's also worth noting that Google Play Movies & TV can be accessed on the web. You can even see all of this same content in the YouTube app for any platform — just head to the Library section and select 'Purchases.'
Step 6: Cast iTunes Purchases to Chromecast or Android TV Now that you've made it this far, the rest of the process is as easy as casting any movie or show from your phone to your TV. To start, open the Google Play Movies & TV app and make sure you're connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromecast or Android TV. From there, tap the cast icon in the top-right corner, then choose the device where you'd like to play the media. After that, just select a movie or TV show and playback will begin on your TV — even if you purchased the content from iTunes! Alternatively, you can cast directly from the Movies Anywhere app, which should show the same movies that you'd find in the Google Play Movies & TV app. Same goes for the YouTube app, which will display your purchased content in the Library tab under 'Purchases.' The process of casting would be identical to the one depicted above.

If you don't see your movies yet, give it some time to sync. After a few minutes, pull down from the top of the library page in Google Play Movies & TV to refresh, and they should appear.
However, not every movie studio allows their content to be shared through Movies Anywhere, so some titles may be missing. Studios with official support include Disney, Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal and Warner Bros. It's worth noting that this method may not work with movie rentals from iTunes.
We haven't been able to verify this yet, but Google's post on the subject uses the term 'purchases' often, so we're assuming that movies you rent from iTunes won't appear in the Google Play Movies & TV app. How are you liking this new centralized setup for all of your online purchases? Isn't it great to finally be able to cast iTunes movies? Tell us about your experiences with Google Play Movies and Movies Anywhere in the comment section below.
