Vudu D2D Home question

[DexMProductions]

I've looked through the boards but couldn't find an answer to this question.

Is the 50% off an order of 10 or more a one time thing, or can I do it again in the future too?

Thanks for any info on this

I have done this several times -- it is multiple use but the expiration date seems to be unclear. Hope that helps.

Its been running well over a year now. I stopped worrying about when it would end.

It's pretty much a defacto discount.

for now. at some point in the future, and nobody outside of vudu or walmart currently knows when, vudu will pull the 50% discount when the disc 2 digital program becomes more established.

a couple of walmart employees at local store were claiming the 50% off bonus should end sometime this year, but i remained unconvinced they were talking about anything they actually knew. felt more like BS to me.

I just wish they'd add more stuff to it and fixed the messed up aspect ratios. By clearly D2D is not a priority for Vudu.

I often have trouble with the "unable to verify this disc" error message. Very very annoying,

that is an issue with vudu's program. sometimes if you try another version of the disc, for example i could never get my star trek the motion picture disc to work, until i stuck in the bonus disc with extras. vudu's program could recognize that disc as star trek TMP

you can also take the discs that vudu's program cant read properly and try d2d on flixster and cinenanow. although those 2 services charge $2 sd/5 hdx per copy. for some discs its worth it to visit those sites. you can also attempt to take your unable to verify discs to your local walmart and have them done in person (results may vary here). or you could try and borrow a friends dvd to make up for your version the vudu d2d program cant verify.

I have only been able to get the 50% off on in-house conversions. Is it also supposed to be available in store? I don't have a Blu-ray drive in my computer so this would be huge for me.

In home only. No discount in store.

I love the discount. Whenever I can get friends to let me borrow their movies I rack up w/ this discount.

I feel your pain. I don't have a blu-ray drive in my computer either so it makes certain things a bit tougher. On the bright side though, I have seen some pretty decent blu-ray readers and burners for PCs for under $50. Haven't taken the plunge yet though.

I purchased a blu-ray drive recently for the express purpose of Disc to Digital. I tried 9 blu-rays so far and the program only recognized 2. For the rest of them, I got the standard "There was a problem verifying your disc." What a waste of time.

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I was hoping that with a blu ray drive, there wouldn't be such issues.

So you need to be more specific on what movies wouldn't read. For example even though it shows Gambler, Interstellar, etc. those are too new and would need to be brought into the store. If it is an older movies than it becomes less of an issue but still can be an issue. There is also a known fact that even though one person's blu will read for a movie another for the same movie may not due to different UPCs. There is a thread for unrecognizable discs HERE.

Silver Linings Playbook
The Outsiders
Fury
Fast and Furious 6
The Wrestler (recognized it as Rocky and said it was ineligible)
Prisoners
The Warriors

The only 2 it recognized were
It's Kind Of A Funny Story and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

The other problem is that I've called 4 Walmarts in my area and all of them have told me that they no longer do Disc to Digital in store and haven't for quite a while (even though according to VUDU customer service every store is participating).

Some of the newer Movies like Fury and Fast and Furious 6, will not come up because of Digital Copy rights. If you still have their Codes you can put them in your Library, or purchase the Code from a UV Store. I have some Hang'em High from MGM that will not work.

Rule of thumb is 2013 and newer most likely won't work. Not saying all won't but majority doesn't. Most yours were newer. I can say I did The Warriors blu-ray and it worked and The Outsiders DVD and it worked. I think I got The Wrestler as some double/triple pack IW at walmart so I can't comment on that one although I don't see it in the unidentifiable thread.
