Wb Movies All Access On For Mac11/22/2020
Today lets take a minute to chat about the current state of Ultraviolet, why theres an extra layer of confusion for anyone upgrading to 4K, and what you should do to get the best out of the Digital Copies included with your 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays.Ultraviolets partners set out to make DIGITAL OWNERSHIP easier and portable, but its such a cluster only diehard enthusiasts care to keep up.On VUDU, youll find over 100 titles from Warner Bros, Universal, and Paramount.They also have 4K UHD titles (NO HDR) from Universal and Amazon Studios (and possibly other distributors -- I didnt check every title) that are available on a wider range of devices.
![]() Even then, you have to be careful about WHERE you redeem your code because, while retailers allow you to redeem Ultraviolet codes on their websites. Not kidding, it took almost three weeks to resolve the problem thanks to lackluster VUDU customer service, who repeatedly refused to listen to my question, suggested I had the wrong equipment, and claimed Warner Bros. The WB Movies All Access folks, who are extremely prompt and helpful, were able to add the UHD version to my WB Movies All Access library, but by that point, Id accidentally created an extra Ultraviolet library that needed to be merged and re-linked to VUDU. In other words, hopefully, there are some readers out there, with lost UHD titles, who can still get access to them. For the rest of the major studios, heres an overview of what to do (and keep in mind, its subject to change). If you unlocked Guardians Vol. BEFORE September 9 or if you dont get the 4K version automatically, please use the Contact US feature on the DMA site and they should be able to get this fixed for you. Going forward, I suspect Disney will support 4K redemption with their codes, but nothing official has been confirmed. Heres where we add another headache -- I just redeemed my code inside Logan 4K as a test -- if you pick VUDUUltraviolet, your Ultraviolet library instantly updates with a note that says VUDU SD, HD, but no mention of UHD. However, FandangoNOW customer service said if your Ultraviolet account was linked to FandangoNOW, you CAN watch certain titles in UHD (assuming you have the right gear). So even though Fox movies are available online IN 4K UHD with HDR on FandangoNOW, at this time its unclear if your Ultraviolet codes unlock them or if you can ONLY purchase them separately. ![]() FWIW, Amazon used to sell Sony movies in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision, but as I was researching this article, that seems to have ended. NOTE: please let us know if Im wrong. Either way, the Amazon titles arewere not part of Ultraviolet. With Ultraviolet, you can link your library to VUDU to enjoy in UHD. Some just say redeem or redeemdigital, while others like Suicide Squad or The LEGO Batman Movie have their own movie-specific pages. Either way, if you link WB Movies All Access to your Ultraviolet account and then link that to VUDU (way too many steps, I know), you can watch your 4K titles in UHD. Warners, at present, actually has the most 4K content available to stream. But remember: this assumes A) you know a movie is able to stream in 4K UHD and be unlocked by the studios supplied code, B) you have the necessary gear to watch said content and C) you still have the paper insert along with proof of purchase. If you have more than one, MERGE THEM in your account settings. We can literally build libraries of films and TV shows and play them back on gear that shames all but the best commercial cinemas. The choice is ours. And while physical media is often frustrating, with its endless trailers and FBI warnings, streaming content in a 4K Ultra HD world is also confusing because Ultraviolet remains an over-complicated mess.
