    Re: Rapid Adoption of Streaming:

    You are absolutely right about the convenience. I actually wish more indy films would take advantage of the same day VOD option rather than bothering with limited theatrical releases so much. I don't really have a huge problem with the price of the rentals if there was an option to apply that to a purchase of that title later. I would be inclined to use Vudu as a rental service if I could then buy the movies I like afterwards. As of right now, I have over 1500 titles in my collection, but I have never rented a single movie on here.

    Re: Rapid Adoption of Streaming:

    the price for the service is one I too have crossed paths with. I would never have adopted as quickly if it were not for the D2D program. I simply would not fork over full price for a title I already owned.

    One guy I spoke to mentioned that Vudu cost too much for rentals. I generally agree with him, but how nice is it to be able to rent a flick by pressing a button from your bed while you are in your pajamas and your car is cold in the garage?

    The price deltas though are an annoyance. I agree.

    Re: Rapid Adoption of Streaming:

    My biggest issues right now are that things are not the same across the board. I understand that some retailers have differences in their available catalogs, but why are the same movies not the same encodes everywhere? When some retailers have a movie in high definition, a correct aspect ratio or UV enabled, and others don't, it can be really frustrating. Imagine if there were issues like this with Blurays..."don't buy movie A at that retailer, it will be lower quality than this retailer." That is just stupid.

    Also, this issue with Disney making Vudu remove the 3D Maleficent purchases is unacceptable. If a mistake is made by a retailer and people purchase items at an incorrect lower price, it is up to the retailer to correct the mistake ASAP and eat the losses. That is horrible customer service and makes people's fears that their collections are not really "owned" all that more valid.

    Price would be the third issue. Older movies in particular should be more in-line with their physical media prices. Why should I buy something at $13.99 when I can get it for $7.99 on disc?

    I have a lot of other issues with UV as well, but these are the ones that really are unacceptable to me.

    Re: Rapid Adoption of Streaming:

    thx for sharing. The reliance on it for me crept up when I realized no one in our home has touched a plastic disc to watch a movie in a very long time. Having the bookshelve space back too is a nice side effect.

    Bummer bout the ISP issue yesterday. When that happens here, there is a collective groan that can be heard a block away.

    Re: Rapid Adoption of Streaming:

    I am a much more recent convert. I tried some titles a little over a year ago and something just clicked. What started as a convenience for me as a frequent traveler became a go-to experience at home. The impact is really clear when I experience days like yesterday when our internet access was lost for most of the day.

    Rapid Adoption of Streaming:

    I read a report that places like Vudu are seeing an 88% growth selling new release titles. Cord cutting is in the news a lot and it seems like the domestic consumer market is quickly adopting streaming as a method for content playback.

    As someone who began collecting titles into a digital library about two years ago, it is great to see so many others start to realize it is for them too.

    I had been wanting to digitize my collection for about ten years. First there were optical disc juke boxes, but they were expensive. Then there was client / server methods for playing back files. That was okay, but ended up being a black hole for free time with keeping things updated and working.

    I remember hearing about Vudu about five years ago when they had an OTT set-top box and thinking that it was a great idea. After I found out about the D2D and DECE rights locker, the deal was sealed for me.

    Finally, I had a way to:
    1. store titles in pristine condition on a cloud provider
    2. playback on mobile devices
    3. save-point retention
    4. fingertip access to entire library from any TV remote in the home

    ...and I haven't looked back since. Optical disc was not able to give me any of those. I became methodical in getting titles for D2D conversion as a way to bulk up my title library. I have built what I consider to be a pretty solid library of titles:

    I know there are lots of new people recently and was wondering what you like/dislike about streaming playback.
