Do you like movies?
Do you love movies?
Do you have stacks of DVD videos lying around, in boxes, or maybe on display as your "video collection"?
Did you recently buy a new UHD television and have quickly recognized your old video collection is junk? Love the convenience of Netflix movies "in the cloud" that you don't have to keep piled around?
Trying to figure out what to do with your huge, horrible, collection of old DVDs?
Vudu has a solution for you.
I love when companies create legitimate solutions to legitimate problems customers have, and they've clearly done something great here.
Get the Vudu app for your phone. Scan the barcode of any movie, DVD or Blu-Ray, pay a very small fee and you get the digital copy, for you to own forever, of that movie. Bye bye DVD.
Wow!
Here is the official site:

The fee is quite small but varies depending on the movie you are working from. If you have a DVD those are originally 480p quality, not "high definition". You can use the Vudu app to grab the same "SD" quality version for $2 or you can upgrade the quality by paying $5 instead. This is opposed to buying a new blu-ray or the digital equivalent for, usually, at least $10.
Awesome!
Own the blu-ray and want a digital copy? $2 please.
Two caveats I've found:
First, if you don't have a hard-wired internet connection to your smart TV services like Vudu are not very good. The times they are a changin'.
Second, I'm a huge believer in "ultra high definition" or 4K, especially on TV displays larger than 50". This service does not offer a UHD option.
Have fun folks, and Happy Movie Watching,
