Walmart offers in-store disc to digital UltraViolet conversion

Rip your DVDs to digital format and host them in the cloud! clip_image002

Walmart just held a press event that included almost every big studio executive and announced an exclusive in-store disc to digital conversion service. The service will be available in more than 3,500 stores starting April 16th. Customers can bring in their DVDs or Blu-Ray discs in and have them converted to digital format and hosted in the cloud via online movie streaming provider Vudu.

Ripping a single DVD will cost $2 and for $5 the digital copy can be done in an upgraded HD format. This is a step closer to the movie industry’s vision of UltraViolet (UV) movies and the service will also allow people to purchase movies and play them on any UV capable device. Head on over to Engadget to check out the full press release.
