    Hmmm, IMO Vudu is my "main library". Personally, I don't login to UV to watch a movie - I use my Vudu app. Because I also own 6 movies on Vudu that are not UV. So logging into UV limits viewing choices.

    The way I look at this is pretty simple. Ultraviolet is our main library for movies. Vudu, Flixster just plays our movies and supposedly Amazon Instant Video too. Imagine if Apple joined in, maybe perhaps we can also watch our movies in itunes like we do in VUDU.

    As you can see, Ultraviolet was made to be the main library to keep our movies, so we have a choice where to watch it like VUDU, Flixster or whatever app there is in the future.

    Ultraviolet and VUDU is actually helping each other out with d2d. More people would register with Ultraviolet with d2d and VUDU would be the number one app to watch your movies, since Flixter isn't as well made like VUDU, itunes isn't in the Ultraviolet bandwagon and Amazon atm doesn't play our Ultraviolet movies. It's quiet simple.

    I think anything offline viewing is up to the streaming app company like VUDU to provide us with some sort of file we can download and play offline with their app and Ultraviolet just makes sure we own that movie.

CFF is widely expected to be finished the first half of this year so it doesn't give them much time.
    Thanks Starkenator...good to know that the downloads performed so far aren't counting.

It studios want to make this work they need to work these things out.
    Well unless Paramount wants to get left out of the D2D service from home, it's going to have to support Flixster by that launch (or soon after).

Personally I get tired of paying for the same thing over and over...VHS, LaserDisk, DVD, Blu-Ray, Mobile - in the end that's an expensive copy of A Clockwork Orange
    I'm an HD enthusiast with both video and sound so here is the order that I buy the movies:

    1) Blu-ray because it has the best video and sound
    2) Vudu and only on those movies that don't have blu-ray but have them on an HD resolution (only 11 that I've converted on D2D from DVD to HDX)
    3) DVD

    The other movies I have on Vudu are those that came with the physical media and I will probably not watch much unless I'm traveling and have a broadband connection. I only have about 23 DVDs left so they will either be converted by buying the blu-ray when/if it comes out or if it's available on D2D (HDX), whichever comes first. Fortunately, I never got into the LaserDisk faze.

    Disney is the only major studio not on board.
    I've been surprised to discover how many Lionsgate films I own. Hopefully, they both come on board.

    I think vudu/ultraviolet has a lot going for it. 80 companies are behind the ultraviolet standard. Disney is the only major studio not on board. If they don't join in they will miss out on a lot of sales. UV is going to be on every Blu-Ray in the near future. There's already 2 million people signed up since launch in October. Not even DVD sold that many players in the first few months. I think there will be 15 million accounts by the end of this year, perhaps more. Disney will eventually fold.

    iTunes, FUV (Flixster, UltraViolet, Vudu) and whatever Disney/Pixar ends up with (possibly iTunes compatible?) - still a hassle from a consumers standpoint.

    I personally refuse to invest any significant amount of money into any one platform until I can be assured that is THE platform that is going to be used.

    I still have a pile of LaserDisks in storage somewhere

    Also you can download Vudu movies in HDX on the PS3 and a few of the previous gen LG Blu-ray Players with hard drives.
