VUDU: VOD film 1080/24p e audio 7.1

[mmanfrin]

Ho appena creato un account per Vudu e Ultraviolet dai Paesi Bassi (ho usato un account email di gmail e ha assunto che il mio paese fossero gli Stati Uniti). Alla creazione dell'account viene regalato un titolo in SD da una selezione di una ventina di titoli.
Il film può sia essere scaricato per la visione offline che trasmesso in streaming. I requisiti di banda per le varie qualità sono
1 Mbps per qualità SD (480p)
2.25 Mbps per qualità HD Light (720p)
4.5 Mbps per qualità Full HD (1080p)

Anche l'account di Flixster e quello di Universal Hi Def possono essere "collegati" a quello di VUDU/UltraViolet per gestire tutti i contenuti attraverso un solo digital locker... molto positivo!

Interessante andare a leggersi la licenza per i file in formato UltraViolet

Streaming of a given title from the selling UltraViolet Retailer more than a year after its purchase, or at any time via Streaming Services other than the selling UltraViolet Retailer, may incur fees and if so any such fees would be presented to the consumer in advance of streaming titles, with the consumer having the option to accept the fees or not use that Streaming Service. Members of an Account may stream up to three titles at the same time. Streaming availability may be subject to territorial restrictions if an Account Member is seeking to stream in a territory that is different from where content was purchased. Streaming availability may also be subject to restrictions that exist for certain periods of time, for certain titles.

Ergo, lo streaming gratuito è garantito al minimo un anno, e successivamente potrebbe smettere di essere disponibile, o esserlo a fronte di un pagamento.

Whether this option is available, and the details of how it works to obtain this copy, may vary by retailer and by title. If the consumer chooses to purchase a version of an UltraViolet-enabled title that does include this option for a physical media copy, they will have one year from the date of purchase during which the selling UltraViolet Retailer must facilitate them obtaining the copy, at no charge above the original content purchase price.

Se acquisti la copia digitale online (UV) hai diritto di richiedere al fornitore una copia fisica di suddetto titolo.

In maggior dettaglio le limitazioni della licenza UV:

No charge for continued access to the license (ultraviolet digital locker). This is good.
Service providers my charge for continued cloud access (eg Flixster / Vudu / the people that actually *stream* the file). This is bad.
Sometimes the license is only in SD (I haven't seen it specified on the outside of the package). This sucks.
*Compatible Devices Subject to change*, ie your set-top box that played it last week might not play it anymore. This is horrible!
