    VUDU versus the world!

    Does anyone want to help me compile a chart comparing VUDU against other similar services? I've started it here:

    http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...XikcjXQhkaS6EA

    It's a google spreadsheet so a number of you can help keep it updated, just reply to this thread if you want editor access and/or PM me your gmail ID.

    I wanted to pull this together to send my buddies when they ask me why I wanted VUDU.

    Re: VUDU versus the world!

    Some suggestions:
    • I'd list the Vudu's audio as 5.1/Stereo, since a large chuck of the content is only available in Stereo.
    • I'd list the VUDU's Max resolution as 1080p/24 and specify that's over HDMI with HDCP only. Component is limited to 720p I believe. This might be more useful as a footnote, because I assume the XBOX 360 has the same limitation.
    • I'm pretty sure I've seen Vudu SD rentals as low as $.99
    • You might want to add a footnote to the instant playback noting the 2Mb Minimum Broadband speed.
    • You could also add Netflix's "Watch Now" service to the comparison.
    I'd rather be more precise than being beat up later for promising something it's not capable of.

      FYI: Component video is limited to 480p.

      There are 99 cent rentals...

            Steve,

            AppleTV doesn't support DD7.1 or any surround sound really for that matter. I think some hackers have made it happen but DD is not officially supported, AFAIK...

              Changed appletv to 5.1 audio. I don't know where I got 7.1 from

              From what I've read, itunes downloads aren't surround sound - but the device can handle it.

                Maybe this article has fodder for the table?

                  Yeah, it has the technical capability but nothing from iTunes has it. People have hacked it to play content in 5.1...I would think you could hack it to do 7.1 as well, but I'm not sure what's really needed.
