General Discussion Verified HD Digitals same as Warner Archive Blu-rays (2012-2025) (1 Viewer)

3 Godfathers 1948 is in HD and is from the same source as the blu ray

I don’t agree if you’re talking about iTunes.

Me neither. That HD pre-dates the Blu-ray and still has some dirt specks.

These are piling up. Does we have the ability to keep a running updated list in the first post?

You trying to give me more work? I’m retired!

IF non-mod members can't do that (and no mod wanna take that on), maybe someone who wanna take that on could just create a Google Sheet or similar for tracking the list of such titles and start a new (sticky?) thread for this w/ a link to the Google Sheet in the 1st post (so only the Google Sheet needs to be updated, not that 1st post itself).

If we can embed a (updatable) view of the Google Sheet in that 1st post instead of just providing link, then that might be even better.

FYI, in case anyone's wondering, I'm not volunteering, LOL. I just don't have quite enough interest in WAC titles to wanna devote the time and effort. But maybe someone else far more interested and collecting tons of WAC titles (w/ a keen interest in HD digitals) might wanna go for that -- in that case, I imagine that person might already track their HD digitals collection via some other cataloging DB like DVD Profiler or the like (probably w/ some moderately customized cataloging for the digitals)...

There is no need now. By the way, I verified The Goodbye Girl iTunes HD digital to my 2016 WAC Blu-ray.

One thing I noticed is that The Letter is not listed as part of MoviesAnywhere. Vudu has it in HDX but you have to purchase it again on Vudu for it to show up in your digital library there. I'm not about to purchase it again on Vudu/Fandango at Home. Also, Dodsworth is listed on MoviesAnywhere but it's not in my MA digital library. They have some retailers like Amazon listed to purchase it but not Vudu. There isn't even a SD digital of Dodsworth on Vudu. By the way, I will continue to call that service Vudu because it's shorter and easier to type out.

Neptunes Daughter ( iTunes )
Du Barry Was a Lady ( iTunes and Vudu)
The Boyfriend ( iTunes )
Showboat (Vudu)
I know you don't like musicals but they are from the blu ray source.
Sunday in New York (iTunes) as well.

I'm trying to minimize mistakes which is why I added that verification rule. If another member verifies your findings then I'll add those titles to the list.

Oh you won't watch musicals so they automatically disqualified .

By the way, I have Neptune's Daughter, Du Barry Was a Lady and Show Boat on Blu-ray. So, I don't dislike musicals, it's just not my favorite film genre. I had no issue purchasing In the Good Old Summertime iTunes digital because I never bought the Blu-ray.

Read my previous post! In my physical media collection:

Mark-P also verified musicals

Mark-P also verified musicals

When he tells me that then I'll edit the list which will be fluid and edited quite often.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Damn, according to DVD Profiler, I have 347 musicals in my collection. I thought I hated musicals?

 

[Mark-P]

Mark-P also verified musicals

I’ve verified nothing at this point, because unlike Robert, I own very few titles on both formats. The half dozen titles I do have on both iTunes and Blu-ray, I have verified are NOT from the same source.

Thank you. I don't want to make any mistakes with this listing because some HTF members will be spending their monies based on the titles listed on it. So, I'm trying to be careful because of those purchases.

One thing I noticed is that titles like Dodsworth and The Letter are not listed as part of MoviesAnywhere. Vudu has them in HDX but you have to purchase them there to see them on that service. I purchased those HD digitals on iTunes and I'm not about to purchase them again on Vudu/Fandango at Home. By the way, I will continue to call that service Vudu because it's shorter and easier to type out.

Not sure quite what it means, but strangely, MA does seem to have Dodsworth (that supposedly links to Apple/iTunes according to their site/app and will redirect you correctly if you follow the usual link), but for whatever reason, our copies on Apple/iTunes are not registering w/ them and not transferring normally as expected.

BTW, some go w/ FaH (or maybe F@H) to keep that shorter (than Vudu )... though yeah, I too tend to prefer just Vudu -- I suppose it's hard to teach this old dog such silly new trick, heh...

Why do those look like super-glowing neon, LOL? Is that really how they're supposed to look?
