    Re: Welcome to UltraViolet!

    So if I want to watch my discs via Vudu, I have to pay hundreds of dollars AND actually go to a Wal-Mart? No thanks, I'll just keep watching my discs until I can put together a home theater PC.

      Re: Welcome to UltraViolet!

      I like this. I doubt I will add titles I already own but for future Blu-ray purchases I can save money buying the 1 Disc version (if available) instead of the 2 or 3 disc version for $5 or $10 more and buy the VUDU Cloud version for $2. Plus, my laptop hard drive is already full from low quality digital copies that are not 1080p nor 5.1 sound.

        I don't think you get it. this service is great for people who wish to watch movies on multiple Internet capable devices, I think. If your DVDs are next to the only place you watch movies, it's not for you.

          Re: Welcome to UltraViolet!

          Interesting....I have been saying VUDU was an Ultraviolet partner for a while.....Now with this service I can bring in my Star Wars DVD's and have them converted to HDX digital files?

          What about movies that may not be available on VUDU yet, i.e. Jurassic Park, Titanic, Indiana Jones films, etc? Can these be upgraded to Hi-Def digital format?

          Now all I need is the ability to download, which is another piece of Ultraviolet yet to be deployed.....This does make things interesting though....

          Edit: I read in another part of the forum only titles available on VUDU can be converted.....I hope the studio partners massively expand their offerings, I.E. make titles like The Lord of the Rings Trilogy available in HDX to own, in addition to the aforementioned titles......

            Post of the year! I can set up quite the ISO burner and have 10 terabytes of space for what they want in $$$.

              Sure, you can download them. Good luck getting anything above SD because the Vudu service is severely lacking. I honestly do hope it works for you, however. I just ran out of patience with Vudu. I expect to be removed from the forums soon just because I am tellng the truth.

                With all due respect, I do not find VUDU lacking in terms of content.....Downloading is limited to only a few devices right now and mine is not one of them....I do think titles will be made available to push this service...As I said in another post, if they don't provide the content, I won't convert and I lose nothing....

                  Re: Welcome to UltraViolet!

                  I agree with canadien37 in this case. First of all it's illegal to make iso copies or backups of protected content in the first place. Secondly, you will have to maintain your 10 terabytes of hard drive space yourself and still not be quite as versatile as VUDU in terms of have high quality access to your content anywhere, anytime. Even SD content on VUDU is pretty good. As far as you not getting HD I think the problem may be with your internet connection, not VUDU.
                  Also, what you are buying is protection of content, just in case your disc is damaged. Even if you have a disc that currently doesn't play you can instantly restore the title for just $2.00.
                  I think the biggest barrier as it is now is the number of titles available for disc to digital. Just like everyone else, I hope Wal-Mart can resolve this issue quickly.

                    Everytime I watch something on VUDU I get three bar HDX. I don't have any issues getting full quality HDX on the many VUDU capable devices I own.

                    I can have three running concurrently and still get three bar HDX on all of them with my FiOS 43Mb/s download speed.

                      I think that you don't have problems because your download speed is much faster than the average Joe's speed.

                        The person I was responding too was saying that there is an issue with the VUDU service and that was the reason they were getting SD. If it was an issue with the VUDU service then I would expect to have issues as well. although I guess there could be regional problems too. I guess it depends on where teh content is hosted. But in the DC area I have not had any issues.

                          This UV worked out great today for me. I just purchased my first UV title. I linked my VUDU and UV account yesterday and today I picked up Ghost Protocol from BestBuy. I signed up at Paramount and entered the digital copy code. It showed up right away on the UV site and the VUDU site. So now I have access to the HDX version on VUDU. That's a pretty good deal.

                            Great. I don't want to redeem a UV that gives an SD Vudu copy. Anyone know if Sony UV titles like Men In Black and MIB 2 also get a HDX Vudu version?

                              Check the D2D list to see when you add HD version it still says "HD" and/or check the Vudu page for the UV version of that movie and see if it has an HDX option. Sony usually gives you an HDX, but only if there is an HDX UV version on Vudu to give. (Like first Underworld and Spider-Man UV versions are only available in SD on Vudu while the rest of their series give HDX.)

                              Sony and Paramount UV digital copy codes typically give you an HDX copy if one's available for UV. Universal and WB always give you SD for UV digital copy codes when they get imported into Vudu (hopefully, they get pressured into changing their minds in future).

                              From a quick browse, it looks like both MIB movies will get you an HDX xopy.
