    Re: New feature request / Wishlist

    We've talked about the pre-order thing before. Vudu cannot put content on customer boxes prior to the release point. So if a movie comes out at midnight, they cannot allow it to be downloaded earlier so that it will be "ready" at midnight. I know it doesn't make sense, but..

    Now, it's entirely possible that Vudu seeds boxes with segments of movies in advance and that when everyone starts to watch the movie at once, the content is provided by a large number of peers. I don't know how they exactly do it but that would make sense (I've never taken the time to read their patent).

      I was thinking more of multiple people downloading at once, so still the four hour delay which would start after midnight, but the preorder would move a lot of network traffic to the AM hours when the ISPs are less congested.

        The ability to play MPEG 4 from the USB drive. I have lots of HD trailers that I have downloaded from the internet. I would love to copy them to a flash drive and be able to play them before watching a movie (theater style).

        Also VUDU should look at adding a trailer selection (for free of course) to help cross sell movies.

                Original Aspect Ratio. And I haven't noticed anything in the wrong aspect ratio yet, so I'm guessing yes.

                  So all 2.35 (2.40) films are OAR and not 1.78 (16x9)?

                    All films are in their original aspect ratio - yes.

                      Yes. I mean they can only encode what ever source the studio supplies but most of the films I've watched are 2.40:1 (or whatever). They certainly don't crop everything to 16:9 if that's your concern.

                        We don't alter what the studios give as far as aspect ratio and we do ask for OAR.

                          I guess you could say with Vudu you have all your OAR's in the water....

                            They're sorted by episode title, rather than show, season, & episode #. Please change it to the latter.

                              this has been brought up several times in the past, but HULU on VUDU would ROCK!
                              Anybody have any updated info?
                              maybe we could start a petition

                                I'd rather have Vudu get paid for people to watch movies and tv shows rather than provide free content supported by commercials. Just my opinion.
