CinemaNow Disc to Digital

[Favre316]

Sorry if there's a thread for this, but I'm curious if anyone has a list, or a link to a list of eligible titles. I've got some credits to burn, and thought this may not be a bad idea to do. Thanks

I don't know of a list, but I've had some that didn't work at Vudu that did work with Cinemanow. Smokey & The Bandit, Fright Night (original), and others...

They used to have a PDF you could download but, since they have redesigned the entire site I don't see it anymore.

BestBuy sold CinemaNow to RMH last month.

Best buy doesn't own CinemaNow. Rovi owns the technology behind it, Best Buy just has a contract and owns the name. Rovi was trying to sell their turnkey video platform, but I don't know who they sold it to, or who RMH is.

RMH acquired the Rovi Entertainment Store from Rovi in July 2013. Last month they acquired the CinemaNow brand name and digital media store from Best Buy.

Edit: From the CinemaNow web site:

SIGN IN CHANGES
You might have noticed we're making a few changes around here. CinemaNow is no longer owned by Best Buy so we're no longer synchronizing CinemaNow and Best Buy accounts. For most users, you should be able to continue logging in as you always have. For some users, however, you may be used to logging in with an email address but may have created a separate username without realizing it. You will now need to use that username in order to log in. If you do not recall your username, simply CLICK HERE and we'll send you an email with your username as well as a link to reset your password.

They sunset the player last month, and apparently have something new coming...

That said even though they've dropped the software my install of the software seems to still work and I just tried a D2D and it found the movie and gave the option to purchase (did not complete the purchase though).

you can still download the cinemanow software via the achieve.org link and it still works on d2d for the time being
(how long it continues to work is anyone's guess)

So, it's actually hosted on the RoxioNow site.

That isn't a third-party site, per se, as it's the same link from archive.org. Roxio is the actual database provider that was used for the CinemaNow and Flixster D2D verification.

I went to achieve.org but it was just a bunch of stuff about education.
