    20th Century Fox also gives SD resolution and requires you to put the DVD in a DVD drive but then it available to stream via iCloud to another computer or an Apple TV.

      That is true except for one movie that I got via iTunes in HD. That movie is "The Bourne Legacy" and I was surprised when it showed up as HD. All the other digital copies have been SD.

        Odd, most all of my (non-Disney) iTunes have been HD. I'm surprised when it's SD these days.

        One thing to check is if you have "download HD when available", otherwise it will only download HD when SD is not available.

        I copied all my iTunes movies to a "safe" back-up location a while ago. Deleted them all from iTunes. Downloaded purchased from cloud and several that were SD upgraded to HD. I then copied back and re-added any movies not download as sometimes they disappear and if you delete them you're out of luck.

          I also pray to the Disney corporate Demons (burn a black mickey mouse eared candle and chant) that they will get on board with uv, then honor d2d and / or allow disney rewards registration to count as ownership. SD... geeee thanks disney, I have a bad feeling if you don't own a current "digital copy disc" of a disney movie you wont be able to pay more money and convert. Owning a blu-ray of a disney movie will not get us squat.. but hey, they probably wont even allow d2d of crummy digital copy so what am I worried about. Answer, just avoid all disney titles until they announce cloud plan... although I really do want to see wreck it ralph, maybe ill just buy it on vudu...

            So it depends on the studio whether you get HD or SD. Here has been my experience recently:

            Disney: SD
            Warner: Not doing Digital Copy since UltraViolet AFAIK
            Sony: Not doing Digital Copy since Ultraviolet AFAIK
            Universal: Giving HD copies as of the Bourne Legacy
            Fox: SD
            Lionsgate/Summit: HD at least since The Hunger Games. Breaking Dawn=HD.
            Paramount: SD

                It would cost me dearly (... assuming they offer Disc-to-Digital conversions).

                Disney / Vudu would be collecting at least a couple hundred from me if they offered Disc-to-Digital conversions. Not that I'd like to see a higher end price point, but really, for a few titles at least, I'd give Disney / Vudu $5 each for the titles I most want to convert instead of the $2 that is currently normally being charged.

                Titles like The Incredibles, Up, Wall-E and a few others that I most want to have available would be worth the $5 price.

                What I will not do is buy them all over again and pay Disney / Vudu another small fortune for the same titles I have on Blu-ray now. Especially not given that I've already handed Disney money for DVDs that I later bought on Blu-ray (at least in those cases I was able to give the DVDs to my sister for her kids to enjoy. Original DVDs that is, not ones from the Blu-ray combo packages, for anyone that thinks I was breaking up my sets).

                  In related news, Netflix announces streaming of (select) Disney titles in the UK and Ireland.

                  http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/13/n...nd-and-the-uk/

                  Now just work on the U.S. Netflix and I might sign back up. Better yet Vudu use your massive 500-lb gorilla Wal-Mart backing to work out a paid HDX D2D. Come are Wal-Mart are you really gonna let Disney throw their weight around like that.

                    What do you want the US Netflix to work on? If it's select Disney titles then select Disney titles are already available for the US Netflix.

                      More complete and less spoty Disney selection. As it's included in other countries I'd like to see U.S. selection expand. That said I understand Netflix model is going to limit titles.

                        My guess is that will come with time, at least with Disney, as it sounds like the deal doesn't go into full effect until 2014. However, I was surprised to see the amount of Disney live action and animation titles which have already been added to the US Netflix.

                          Isn't "Oz The Great And Powerful" technically a Disney release? If so I find this link VERY interesting. It's on the UV redemption page:

                            ...you know? I was thinking...

                            I got a hit on a disney UV internet search about OZ. It was indicating HD Digital Copy which most of the time means UV. I went to the site and it says HD Digital Copy via iTunes.

                            http://disney.go.com/thewizard/

                            They have to be feeling the pressure of only having iTunes. Some point they will have to cave to market trends. UV just is dominating the digital copy space.

                            Maybe you found a tea leaf of an upcoming announcement. Otherwise, it is just another disney/walmart->Vudu deal.

                            I hope you are right though.

                            I have a whole box of DVDs and Blueray Discs waiting for me to drive them into the WalMart photo counter with that damn DisneyDVD logo on them.

                              That would make a lot of people's days... I e-mailed them so, too. Methinks we need to go on change.org and start a petition for Disney and other holdouts to adopt UV & D2D.

                                Likewise "reasonable pricing" on digital titles. Sorry, but $15-25 for a STRICTLY DIGITAL copy of a movie is ridiculous. $30-50+ for a TV season is equally ridiculously high (especially since many can be had on sale for $15-20 in Blu-ray on a regular basis). I don't know if it's VUDU's fault or the studios' profit-mongering. But generally speaking, I'm not paying upwards of $13 to get a digital-only copy of something I can get a physical copy of for $10 or less and pay $2 to CONVERT to digital copy (and still keep the physical backup copy).

                                Make of that what you will, VUDU, Studios, et al. Digital ephemera is simply not intrinsically "worth" as much as a hard physical copy in your hand. If the service goes down, you have no ownership. Unless you have UV, in which case there's SOME ownership, unless of course THAT goes under at some point (hope not!)...

                                In my opinion, Sub-$10/ea is the break-even point on digital-only copies. I'd go closer to $5-7/ea personally. MAYBE $10-15 on NEW RELEASES. But, c'mon! Do they really think they're getting $15-22 on CATALOG TITLES? Pfft... Don't think so. Not happening. I'll be voting with my $$ on this one.
