    4K and 3D

    Well looks like 100GB 4K Blu-ray disc are now being made and will likely be released around holidays.

    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_7...to-4k-blu-ray/

    What does this mean for VUDU? Can VUDU stream this high quality video? HDX is great and i cannot really tell the difference between the disc. Also why are there no 3D movies on VUDU. I remember seeing some but now it looks like they are all removed?

    Not really. It's a company that's kind of going out of a limb. There really isn't an official standard yet so there is quite a risk that we would have another HD-DVD thing going on again.

        [Is there some setting I am missing
        I found 3D...?[/QUOTE]

        Rented RIPD and was not impressed with the degree of ghosting, motion artifacts, and overall pix quality. The actual blu ray disks in my collection show no such problems.Is there some setting that improves bandwidth and quality that I am missing? I have 50mbps internet, Oppo 103D bluray, and Panasonic 8000 projector on a 140 inch cinemascope screen. Any help would be appreciated.

          A 140in screen is going to be very unforgiving with any streaming content, the bandwidth just isn't there yet, not at a reasonable price anyway, not for streaming at blu-ray quality or 4k quality. VUDU looks pretty great IMO on a 40-55in screen, but bigger than that the compression artifacts start to really show. My biggest problem is banding in gradients, some movies are worse than others, Finding Nemo is a horror show on Vudu in this respect.

          The hope is that in time, bandwidth will be cheaper and compression algorithms will improve, ISP data caps will be much higher. Then we can start profitably steaming 20gb blu-ray quality movies. The idea is that If you own the UV rights to a movie, the stream will be upgraded over time, rather than having to buy the movie over and over again with each new technology. Probably an exception for 4k, we will likely have to pay a fee to upgrade our HD movies to 4k (hopefully not by buying the entire movie again like now when trying to upgrade an SD UV movie to HD, we shall see)

          Then again, consumers have in mass abandoned 1411 kbps CD Audio for 320 kbps MP3 files from iTunes and Amazon. It's simply good enough for most people. We may be at that point with VUDU, I don't know. I think it is easier for the lay person to tell the difference between blu-ray and streaming video than CD and MP3, but it may still be good enough for 95% of the population.

            No one cares about 3D and no one will care about 4k... Vudu will be safe for many enjoyable streaming years to come.

              If you are into lab forensic quality, try to download a title before watching. There is also kaleidescape.

              However, I agree. For us out here just trying to find time to haul the kids from point a to point b, feed them, and not go broke, Vudu is a god send. 1080p whole home DVR with fully baked mobility features. No scratched or lost discs. Etc...

              Nuances of forensic quality analysis on a 150 inch screen are moot.
