Bonus Footage in IYD Download July 1

That's why, generally, the way it works with an exclusive retailer is all sites simply link to them...so, for example, the IYD site would say "Available for download July 1st! Only on iTunes!" with a link to the iTunes store.

But on July 1, it won't be exclusively on Itunes, anymore. You can buy it on the IYD website then and you get bonus footage too. So, if the site said something about that now, they would potentially be robbing Itunes of sales from now until July 1, because people might choose to wait.

LOL ..Actually I really don't get it, so if you purchase the digital download you can only watch it via your boring little computer screen?? If so, how ridiculous!! I hate iTunes and refuse to have it on my computer, & not to sound too dramatic but I would be heartbroken if I never get to see The Making of IYD's not to mention all the fun bonus footage..

I'm with you. I would rather have an actual dvd. I don't have a dvd burner and I'd rather not sit and watch it on a computer. I don't find that enjoyable or relaxing. Why can't they also offer some dvd's for people who don't want dowloads?

I'm confused. So if you get songs off itunes, you can't burn them onto a cd that will play in your car or cd players? I haven't gotten anything from itunes before.

And also, if you get a movie from itunes (I didn't even realize they had things other than songs), you can only watch it on your computer, even though you paid for it, you still can't burn a copy to watch on a dvd player?

What's the World Coming To?

Good News, I believe someone messaged Dave Stewart on F/B he answered by saying they are in the process of sorting out a DVD distributor... YAYYYYYYY

No, you can burn it onto a CD that will play in your car. That's not a problem.

If you buy an Itunes movie, you can watch it on your computer OR you can connect your computer to your tv and watch it that way or buy a device that will wirelessly stream from your apple devices (Ipad, Mac, etc.) to your tv.

But no, you can't burn a copy onto a dvd. There are ways to do it. I know for PCs there was this software called "hand brake" that let you rip movie dvds, even if they were copy-restricted. But I am kind of wary of this unauthorized software.

If any east coasters are planning on buying, downloading and watching this tonight, feel free to post what the "Bonus Features" are here. Just be sure to preface it "Spoilers" first in case there are those that want to be surprised. As for myself, I'd like to know asap what these bonus features are. Living on the west coast, I could technically find out a little after 9pm (my time) if fans start posting details about it. I'd stay up myself and do this but I have to wake up at 4:30am on weekdays, and that would interrupt my much-needed beauty sleep, which I especially need this week because I have HUGE plans that involve the Fleetwood Mac concert on Friday. I'll let you guys in on what that is later.

I hope these bonus features are legitimate. God knows they had the footage to provide it.
What I'd like to see: More personal interaction footage, i.e. dinner parties, behind the scenes of the videos that were made, fan submissions and of course the actual music vids we haven't seen yet like "Annabel Lee", " Wide Sargasso Sea" and "Italian Summer".

Well, here it is July 1st and no new updates to the inyourdreamsmovie.com website whatsoever. Guess it doesnt surprise me, although I had hope yesterday that they were planning something because the site was down.

Maybe later today?? Who knows.

Well, I hope so. I just went to the Amazon listing and found out this bit of info: "PLEASE NOTE: Downloading to a Mac or a Linux PC is not supported. Downloaded videos can not be transferred to iPods or other devices."

I don't own the other devices that are supported, so I suppose I will wait for the DVD.

The website has posted a direct buy and it works fine. DRM free and you can move it right along to your IOS devices, should you want.

Probably the timing. When Fleetwood Mac starts the European leg of the tour in September, that will probably be when Stevie and Dave will promote IYD overseas. I can see them pitching the release during the tour downtime. The same will probably happen for Australia and New Zealand in November and Decmeber.
