Disney Falls Under Some Vudu, Buena Vista VOD Day and Date
Disney, along with other Buena Vista brands, has added a heaping portion of films to the VUDU Set Top Box for Movies On Demand
Vudu has become the first digital video download service to offer permanent high-definition film downloads from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.
Starting immediately, Vudu users will be able to access more than 60 Disney films, including Doubt,High School Musical 3: Senior Year, No Country for Old Men, The Sixth Sense and National Treasure. Vudu said it will soon offer new movies as permanent downloads simultaneously with DVD release.
People can choose to watch either in instant high-def mode or as Vudu’s proprietary HDX, which the company touts as the highest quality download format available anywhere.
Many studios offer high-def titles for digital rental delivery through such services as Xbox Live and Netflix. Vudu in February was the first Web-based digital service to offer permanent high-def film downloads. Some services have since expanded to download-to-own high-def. Apple’s iTunes now offers a limited selection of permanent high-def titles, including MGM Home Entertainment’s Quantum of Solace(distributed by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment) and Lionsgate’s 3:10 to Yuma.
The plot thickens. Surely other set top guys are going to notice. Cheers to VidBiz and Engadget.
