    Re: Question about new update??

    I don't know why Undiscovered Country is in stereo only. It's what Vudu gets from the content provider (Studio). It's odd because Star Trek I and Star Trek II are both in DD5.1 But even though Star Trek I is in 5.1 and VI is in stereo, the audio source quality of VI is way better.

    The vast majority of HD titles are in 5.1. I'm not sure why the studios don't see fit to provide all HD source material with 5.1 audio.

    Apple may be advertising all rentals in 5.1 for HD. But that might mean they won't offer movies like StarTrek VI.

    I thought all the HD rentals were going to be in 5.1.
    Apple is advertising all there HD rentals will be in 5.1 Digital sound.
    Why not Vudu?
    I find the sound is more important than the picture quality. The difference between 720p and 1080p is hardly noticeable unless you are right on top of the picture.
    I would much rather have the high end audio formats than 1080p.
    I find the sound envelopes you into the picture much more than a slightly sharper picture.
    I hope Vudu corrects this soon.

    Software is really easy conceptually, but unfortunately more complicated in reality.

    I know, been there, done that. But it's that challenge that gets the juices going for lots of really hard working people.

    50 is the approximate amount. TV shows being less time than movies will take up less space per show.

    No, there is no disk space meter. It's in the request queue though!

    Re: Question about new update??

    So is there anyway to know when your drive is close to full? Or it just tells you when it can't store anymore. And it sounds like there currently is a 50 title limit? Is that true?
    I don't have to worry about it yet but I can see how these TV shows could easily get you over 50 titles in a short period of time. I already have eight of them.

    Honestly John, I'm kind of disappointed you guys would drop the ball on that. This has been a major thorn in my side, not to mention my wishlist of movies I want to purchase as already grown close to 50 already, while I wait for this issue to be resolved. Well anywayz, thanks for the new HD rentals, but I'm not really your target rental market.
    Rstone,

    There was a lot that went into this build of software. There was a lot of testing as the networking requirements for streaming HD are tremendously different from SD content. Would you rather have waited another month or two for the HD streaming and gotten storage thrown in at the same time? I don't think so. There's only so much we can do at once. Keep in mind the beta team had to debug this and test this multiple times. There was a lot of work that was done.

    External storage will be a big job in and of itself.

    You can delete movies by calling customer service now.
    1.3 will have an advanced setting that allows you to ignore the supported HDMI modes. This will allow you to enforce any output mode including 1080p24.

    It's definitely high on the priority list, but HD was our main focus for 1.2. Hang tight though. You'll see it soon.

    That I'm not too sure of. We're getting a bit ahead of ourselves since 1.2 was just released.

    We'll have more news about 1.3 in the next couple of weeks.
