    I am in your camp.

    I recently converted my "Sound of Music" via D2D into HDX, and the crisp picture quality was a delight. You could see the hair strands of Julie Andrews red-blonde hair clearly.

    Two more to add...

    "Jeremiah Johnson" & "The Story of Qui Ju"

    Both of these are pretty old and I do not see any Bluray copy having been released, so I am not too upset bout getting SD versions.

    Thanks to you both for the additions.

    Walter, there are older movies without Blu ray discs that have an HD upgrade option. The Family Jewels for example (saw this on Netflix one day but is D2D eligible) so even given the age of a movie it can still happen.

    Thanks for the list. I'll keep an eye out for any additions, because I won't purchase any more SD-only movies until there's a way to upgrade to HDX (presumably for an additional cost).

    Re: D2D Titles Without An HD Upgrade Option

    This is a little bit of an annoying issue, but at least Sony has been upgrading many of its titles to HDX recently.

    What's even more annoying are films that are HDX, UVVU compatible, and but not available for D2D conversion.
    The 2 biggest ones like that I can think of are "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Blazing Saddles". I might email VUDU about these 2 and see what they can do.

    "Papillon" is probably the biggest holdout from my collection that's only SD right now, but what's annoying about that one is that Cinema Now has it in HD, yet they don't convert Blu-Rays yet for D2D so right now it's a lose-lose situation.

    I get what you're saying and I know this is how it's supposed to work. However, as an example, I did a D2D transfer of The Exorcist from Blu using Vudu's beta software and didn't notice that it redeemed in SD. I emailed Vudu and they gave me a refund and removed the movie since I told them I don't want SD movies if I D2D from Blu.

    My point is if they can remove the movie from my UV locker with this request, my movies can be removed at anytime thus not guaranteed to stay. So with my paranoid nature about anything in "The Cloud" I trust Vudu more than Cinemanow. I have also found Cinemanow customer service is on par bad as Flixster, whereas Vudu has always been top notch for me. Once again this is merely my opinion and a personal preference.

It's a personal preference of course

    A couple of these are available HD through the Cinemanow app and are only available on DVD right now so you could always convert them through CN and when Vudu gets the HDX upgrade your copy will also upgrade. That's what I did with Police Academy 1 and 4 since it was going to cost me $5 each either way.
