iTunes vs Vudu vs Blu-ray
We've watched streaming media go from incredibly choppy and blocky to smooth and nearly HD. As bandwidth increases so does the quality of streaming media. You can easily listen to CD quality audio but streaming Blu-ray quality video is a ways off or is it? We have an interview with Mark Henninger, an AVS Forum “Newsbreaker, and we discuss a series of articles he wrote where he compares movies on iTunes, Vudu, and Blu-ray.
