This may have been covered elsewhere but I can't find it, so hope I'm not being redundent.
I've finally had a chance to watch a few movies on VUDU and read the forums a lot too.
I keep stating that I'm not interested in renting SD/stereo movies, just DVD or better with DD5.1 movies.
I've watched the Bourne HD movies and they were great.
But I'm confused about what SD movies mean.
I've watched a couple of movies that were listed as Enhanced Widescreen with surround sound (DD5.1?). They looked to me like they were DVD quality and sounded great (and would not have a problem renting more of these kinds of movies)
Then I've watched a couple of older movies, and they were what I consider SD/stereo movies with 4:3 aspect ratios (which I would not want to rent).
So I guess I'm confused about what SD really means.
To me SD means to me a 4:3 aspect ratio and low res quality.
While DVD quality means to me a true widescreen aspect ratio (whether it's letterboxed or not) at 480i or 480p res quality with DD5.1.
And HD quality means to me the same as DVD quality except it's 720p or 1024p quality resolution.
So I would appreciate if someone could explain what type of quality the movies on VUDU have to help my selection process of movies I would want to watch and rent that meet my picture and sound quality criteria.
After watching a few enhanced widescreen movies with surround sound, it just seems like you're short changing yourself in your product promo by calling it just either SD or HD in picture quality, when it seems like you may actually have SD, DVD, or HD picture quality.
