I was hesitant because I had been using iTunes already and didn't want to start a whole new digital library. (Myself included).Ī few years later Ultraviolet (UV) started to compete with Apple. Suddenly, it wasn't enough to buy a DVD/Bluray with extras. Eventually, Apple allowed viewing on TVs thanks to their Apple TV device. Somewhere in the mix of DVDs and Blurays, Apple introduced digital versions of movies to take anywhere, viewable on computers and on their mobile devices (iPads, iPods, and iPhones). When Blurays won the high definition format war, I slowly began to shift my library to Bluray and started leaving DVDs behind. Now that you have an idea of what digital libraries are, it's time to learn about the two main stores: iTunes and Ultraviolet.Īt one point in my life I had over 650 DVDs in my collection. If you prefer one of the main digital library stores (iTunes versus Ultraviolet), make sure that the Bluray/DVD you're buying includes a digital copy of your desired store. They will be marked on the front or back cover of the movie. Most movies, especially newer titles, include digital copies with the Bluray/DVD as a standard feature. These sites will provide a field where you can enter your code. Most times, however, the code will include a specific website to visit. With an Ultraviolet code, they are redeemed on Ultraviolet's website. With an iTunes code, they can be redeemed using iTunes on your computer. If bought alongside a Bluray/DVD, then these digital copies are obtained using a code that is provided inside the case. These digital versions are accessible anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection, or if you've downloaded (or transferred) them to one of your mobile devices, then you can watch them anywhere, anytime with or without internet access.ĭigital copies of movies can also be purchased by themselves at a lower cost than a Bluray/DVD.

Digital libraries are movies purchased usually alongside with a Bluray/DVD. Those of you who already know, skip ahead. Have you already started building your digital movie library? Are you wondering which service is best? Read on!įor anyone unsure of what digital libraries are, I'll briefly explain in these first couple paragraphs.
