Problem with iTunes and dvd digital copy

Hopefully someone can help me out. I bought the Fast and the Furious blue-ray box set which includes all of the digital copies for each movie. So I redeemed my code and downloaded the digital copy for the 1st movie. I noticed during the download, it only took like 2 minutes. Usually downloading a movie takes quite some time. However, after everything was done, I went to my movies library and click the movie file to play it to make sure its working. When it plays, all i see is a black screen, no video, no audio, but i see the 1 hour and 20 minutes counting down like a regular movie. how come its not showing anything though????

also my itunes folder is directly in an external hd. can that be the problem??

Sounds like a corrupted download. I suggest that you re-download the file. What format is the file? How big is the file?

I find it very hard that a 1GB+ file is downloading in 2 minutes. That's 8.5 MB/s (or greater) which I find very unlikely. Have you tried another computer?
