Vudu Mobile D2D thread

Then I was paying for movies with a Vudu gift card, but that fully expended Vanilla card was still tied as my billing address. When I disconnected it, I'd have to add the Vanilla card on my phone to get to the address part.

Now, I keep that same $0 balance card to verify my address and still pay with Vudu gift cards.

I'll try that. Thanks for the recommendation

I just noticed a typo and incorrect year.

Summer Campe (2016) - no E and 2015

The UPC listed matches with this release:

Got the title edited. Vudu list the year as 2016, so we use what they list as easier way to check when comparing sheet updates.

Isn't any time during a 4 day period better than only having it broadcast once during the Halloween season? It's not like it's something more obscure like Oct. 1st-4th (when you wouldn't be looking for it yet).

It's not like they have to offer this for free, right?

Brought 10 more Universal Movies from Vudu D2D last night. I have 10 more movies to go to reach 100 for the year.

By my calculation, I'm down to 3 for the year. Already have a list of movies I'm ready to hit the ground running with ordering in 2023. Discounted Vudu gift cards purchased!

Out of curiosity, which movies did you grab? Now that I'm registered for Universal All-Access rewards, I'm paying attention a bit more to that.

Pretty Maids all in a Row - has an HDX option! MA, but doesn’t seem to be available to stream anywhere in HD. Never even released on Blu Ray, it seems, so probably a waste to spend extra

Played in HD on Vudu and MA, looked washed out at Vudu but not too bad at MA. I dragged my feet on Surviving the Game and missed it, learned my lesson.

Between that, removing the conversion tool from the app, and making it next to impossible to get the browser version to work, it seems like they're purposely making it more difficult to use this service. Maybe they really are getting ready to jettison it altogether.

Welp... I hit my 100 for the year. At this point, it's keeping a list of ones to convert right after the new year.

[iliketowatch]

To you or anyone else who is tracking their D2D conversions... Is this something you manually track? Or can I find out somewhere on the site how many I've bought this year?

To help with yearly D2D tracking, I like to go to https://www.vudu.com/content/Account...alanceHistory/

It's an easier format for me to see, by description, how many of my purchases were "In home Disc to Digital conversion". Also, if you click on that item name, it will open up and tell you how many movies were a part of that transaction.



I write down all the numbers until I get through the year, and then add them up.

Hope this helps.

Yeah as someone who had been able to do MD2D conversions for years with no problems from the same billing address and same/similar iPhones, I can no longer do them. Just get the standard error reading the barcode from Vudu when I try now. Sucks as I would like to continue giving them money for conversions but they don't want to let me. It does feel like they are trying to bury this program as much as possible.

The biggest help I've found to scanning barcodes is to step back from the movie and use the camera zoom to get a clear shot.

Like a few others mentioned, it's got to be tracked personally. Keep a spreadsheet is what I use.

During the lockdown, I wasn't staying at my home billing address, so I bought $50 vanilla visa gift cards to get around the location requirement. Turns out that's also a perfect way to use as a countdown of how much you've spent if you use it exclusively for D2D. Now that the visa gift card is fully expended, I use that for my billing address and pay with Vudu gift cards to get around the location requirement.

Do any of the spreadsheets keep a track of which movies are only available through d2d

I can usually get it to go if I use either Chrome or Firefox, but you still have to get the size just right. The barcode has to be as close to full-frame as you can get it while keeping it in focus.
