how long do you rent vudu movies for
Vudu As of January 2015[update], there were over 18,000 movies in the Vudu catalog, and 5,000 television shows. Titles range from major motion pictures, independent films, documentaries, children’s programming, anime, musicals, recorded musical performances, cartoons and television series. Over 13,000 of these titles are available in high-definition, the largest for any service of its kind.[11] Vudu has established content licensing contracts with all major movie studios as well as over 50 smaller and independent studios.[12] Movies are available to rent in standard-definition, high-definition, and HDX format. A rented title can be stored on the Vudu Box for 30 days before being watched. Once a user begins watching a rented title they have 24 hours to finish. After this 24-hour period, rentals can be extended for a discounted price. The majority of movies and television shows are available for purchase in standard-definition format only. This policy is consistent with studio standards and other digital retailers concerning digital purchases.[13] Movies from FirstLook Studios, Kino, and Magnolia Pictures are available to purchase in high-definition format.[14] On February 25, 2010, to comply with the policies of its parent corporation, Vudu discontinued operating the AVN After Dark channel which provided users with adult movies.[15]
