Disc To Digital Forum - Your D2D Needs Serviced Here! Bluray and DVD UV

CAGiversary!

68 (100%)
Looking to start a thread for Disc to Digital Service where CAG's can discuss purchasing movies for their UV collections at a discounted price. Reliable and customer oriented CAG's only. If using Vudu, you must have the Vudu to Go app installed to purchase D2D. Thread would be started under trading section. Just looking to garner some support first.

Flixster also has a service similar to this. They charge $2 per disc. AFAIK, this rate pertains to DVD and Blu-Ray. What does V2G (Vudu To Go) charge?

 
V2G charges $2 per DVD and Blu-Ray as well, but after 10 copies they charge only $1. That's the reason I tend to stick with Vudu more when it comes to D2D. Vudu also is constantly adding films to their eligible D2D list, a plus in my book. I have been able to save a ton of money by just buying from other people's libraries of movies. For them and anyone that has an extensive movie collection on hand, it's a great way to make an additional bit of money on the side.

I wonder if they can do full seasons of shows under this service.

 
Dumb question....how does this work?
I think with the DRM that a lot of movie discs have (even though there's software you can download the circumvents that and allows you to copy the movie but you break the law doing so), these services may ask you to put in the disk, let it read, the software scans it and identifies it somehow...and then you pay and unlock the digital copy.

 
Dumb question....how does this work?
I'm assuming you pay a fee for the seller to load titles into your Vudu account. You can than log into the Vudu2Go app and complete the transaction. The good thing about this, is that you can "save" the titles in the app until you are ready to make the purchase. If you have at least 10 titles at one time to convert, you save 50% and only pay $1 for the conversion. That fee would be in addition to wait you paid the seller to add the title to your account. There are ways to work around giving out your Vudu login info.

I'd be interested in contributing to this as a seller.

 
I believe that you can do full seasons of shows under this service as well. I have come across some sellers who are generous enough to sometimes even give you a few movies for free, and all you end up paying is the Vudu fees. I was rather surprised to see that CAG yet had a forum for this kind of service, as it is much cheaper and works the exact same way as purchading individual IV codes. I am a member of the google+ forums for UV trading and D2D trading. Some of the people there are CAG's as well, and I felt the need to talk to some people about it on here and see what we could start.

Thank fully I can reply to this topic
I haven't been able to reply to the ultraviolet thread and have no idear why?
have bought codes from a cople of members it's been great
I'm from the UK but I buy USA codes for several reasons

They are more reliable load up better on my roku
Available before the uk
And there is a much bigger selection ( riddick was not avalible in uk ect...)

I'd be very interested in this service but I don't know how I could check out ? I think vudu needs a USA credit card
Also do they go in to the ultraviolet locker vuuv ?
As I'd need to play vi flixter on my roku as vudu is not avalible in uk on the roku

I wasn't able to reply to that thread for a while as well, most likely has to do with feedback and recent membership status choices by the moderators. You should be able to soon. I haven't had any experience with anyone outside of the US trying to use Vudu services, so anyone's answer is as good as mine. I do know that they will go into your ultraviolet account regardless of whether or not you used a code or purchased disc to digital. The main reason I like D2D much better is the fact that they are so many more movies accessible at much cheaper rates than buying just the codes from others who have purchased the dvd's or bluray's themselves.

Some good movies there, might have to add them to my collection someday soon! I have 118 movies now and I have only had my Vudu and UV accounts for a month now... :whistle2:

 
I may or may not work for Vudu.

Interested way to use the D2D.

This is new.

Be advised that Disney/Marvel movies are not part of the D2D service and will not transfer from Vudu to any other service.

Or TV shows, they are not part of D2D at this time.

I was unaware of the Disney/Marvel exclusion at this moment in time. Hopefully they add those and work with Disney/Marvel in the near future. Most of the Disney movies are impossible to find Uv codes for unless they are new releases.

 
Cause Disney is trying to create their own service and don't wanna join.

Give it a year or two and it will happen, IMO.

Any questions about the service, let me know.

 
Just to make it clear to everyone, here is the breakdown....

Disc to Digital:

DVD to SD Digital - $2

DVD to HD/HDX Digital - $5

Blu-Ray to HD/HDX Digital - $2

*First time use of the program gets you a $2 discount at checkout

*Covert 10+ titles during the same transaction and get 50% off your entire order

I have done this a few times with my DVD collection. Obviously, if you have a way to load Blu-Ray discs, than that will be the better way to go but even converting DVDs to HDX is cheaper than what most people are offering them for on the site. Especially, the newer releases. Convert 10 titles at a time and you get the 50% off which puts it down to $2.50 a title. That's not bad at all when you think about it and you can use the 50% as many times as you want. And if I'm not mistaken, you can only use the 50% once a day

Nope the 50% can be used as many times a day as you can use it.

Though do it in batches of 10 so the program doesn't get overloaded.

Also some movies may through back a needs to verify.

That means the program failed, so try another computer or your local Walmart, though you wont get the discount.

 
Do you still get the 50% at Walmart when you take them in-store?

Also, just to let everyone know, you HAVE to have the case in order to do an in-store disc to digital transfer. Or at least a kool employee to bypass the barcode scan (if that's possible?)

You will NOT get the 50% off.

The 50% off is to get users to use the D2D program, because it's still in Beta.

Thank you for clarifying that, I have come to find some people that say there is a loophole in getting dvd's to convert to HDX for only a dollar. I didn't know if anyone knew anything more about this? Not sure how or why it works exactly? I still have my gateway laptop that I have been using for roughly 4 or 5 years now, doesn't have bluray capability :dvd:

Hopefully you are correct, Disney movies would be a great addition to the D2D world.

I don't think there is a "loophole" in converting DVDs for $1. Unless umbry can clarify that otherwise, they might have been talking about the Blu-Ray D2D. Which if you transfer 10 or more in one transaction, you will indeed be transferring them for $1 a piece at the 50% discount offered.

Ok for this to be interesting for me
Some one would have to ither log in to the account I've just made for this purpose
And be willing to check out for me! Or sell me a locker with the films in then I could merge it with mine

As an experiment I'd like to buy 10 films at €1.50 each + a €2 service fee there for you would stand to make
There for making a €7 profit if any ones willing to give it a try tell me what films you have n we will talk further
Thank you

I would like to back you up on this although I can't offer anything other than DVDs transferred to HDX digital, which will be $2.50 after the 10 title minimum required for the 50% discount. Still not a bad price when you consider the average of $4-5 that merchants are offering them for in the other trade topics.

Either way, if people don't mind the extra $1.50 per title, I don't mind helping people out. I have a collection of over 500+ movies (not to include my TV shows, which I haven't tried converting any yet....) and I know of at least 10 of them I can convert to HDX. Although, please do understand that just because you have the disc, doesn't mean the system will accept it to be converted. I had went through about 20-30 disc to get the 10 that were accepted to be converted but were some good titles none the less

I'm in the process of making a definitive list of the DVDs in my collection that are able to be converted to HDX. Hopefully, should be able to have something by the end of the day, if not sooner. For anyone wondering, these are the 10 in my shopping cart that were accepted:

:dvd: Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls [HDX]

:dvd: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation [HDX]

:dvd: Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets [HDX]

:dvd: Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban [HDX]

:dvd: Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire [HDX]

:dvd: Inception [HDX]

:dvd: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King [HDX]

:dvd: Men in Black 2 [HDX]

:dvd: Role Models [HDX]

:dvd: Zombieland [HDX]

 
You do not have to send your disc anywhere, it is all taken care of on your own laptop by reading the info from the disc in your disc drive.
 
If you do the d2d do you have to send a disc in anywhere?
Nope, you sure don't. The only time you need to "present" the disc to anyone, is when you go in-store to make a disc to digital transfer. In which case, you will need everything you would get upon purchasing the movie (case, insert, and disc for bare minimums.)

However, if you use the in-home VUDU To Go disc to digital system, nothing has to "presented" to anyone. You just pop the disc in your ROM drive, let the application scan the system to make sure your copy is compatible, and then it adds it to your cart once it has verified it. After that, you just checkout like any other online shopping cart and your good to go from there.

 
Wow, sounds like a pretty decent deal.

Just out if curiosity what's the difference in these copies as opposed to using something like handbrake? I take it you can keep them in the cloud and use on your xb/ps?
 
Cool you have 5 titles I'd be interested n thanks for your reply

At this point Would prefer to just go for the SD redeem as a cheaper risk as.I have no idea if I will be able to play them in the uk
Vi the roku an at least for the moment any SD titles plays in full HD vie the roku in uk at the moment

I keep saying at the moment because ultraviolet is very new in the UK only 340 titles available and no disc to digital
How ever if this dose work
 
Wow, sounds like a pretty decent deal.

Any of the copies you get through this service are shared in your "cloud" through Vudu and UV. I use that to view movies through my apps on my Android, ps4, bluray player, etc. I have no experience with handbrake, what exactly is their service providing?

Ok, here is another breakdown of the services and how they work....

First, you have UltraViolet, which essentially is what format we are converting our DVDs and Blu-Rays to when using the disc to digital service. You get to choose whether you want SD or HD/HDX but ultimately, no matter which you choose, it's still UltraViolet digital format.

Second, you have your digital streaming and/or download providers who allow you to link your UltraViolet account aka your UV cloud, to their program, app, etc to allow full access (most of the time) to your collection. These companies include but are not limited to: VUDU [Walmart], Flixster, Target Ticket, & Cinema Now [Best Buy]. For the U.S., these are the main providers who allow this kind of access to your UV cloud at the current time and personally, I prefer a combination of VUDU and Flixster, even though I have not used much of Target Ticket or Cinema Now, they don't seem to offer as much (will elaborate soon) as the before mentioned 2.

Lastly, you have what each company offers to the table. Flixster offers full support for PC and Apple, not to mention support for iOS, Android, and I believe Windows phones as well. They also offer Xbox and Playstation support for their consoles. I stream movies and shows from my Samsung Galaxy S (yes, the original. I'm cheap and if it's not broke, don't fix it kinda guy) almost on a daily basis while bored at work. The beauty of their service is they allow you (and for quite some time now) to download your videos to your device so you can watch them while offline. This is perfect for times when you know you might be going into areas with bad service for prolonged periods of time so you can download a few titles to watch while in the "dead zone," so to speak. VUDU also offers something similar through their VUDU To Go application but I have not used it yet nor do I know if they have mobile device and/or tablet app support. They do have Xbox and Playstation console support, as well as Target Ticket and Cinema Now, Although, Target's and Best Buy's console apps, in my own opinion, are not up to par with Flixster and VUDU. These things could change in the near future since UltraViolet format is starting to blow up, despite some companies not jumping on board, Disney (partly) and iTunes (completely) for some examples. Other members, who may or may not know the EXACT details on their services ~cough~umbry~cough~, would be able to inform you better of the things they offer.

That I do not know. So far its extended till June. Maybe until they push an update. They keep extended it though, so do not know.

I do not know of a loophole. I do not you can use any credits you get for this service, like the Walmart Pizza box, KY, Kleenex. They all may come with Vudu credits.

They are stored on your digital cloud ie Ultravoilet account. And you can access they through Vudu or other services as long as they are UV enabled.

Make sure you have a service that works outside the USA, since Vudu doesn't. Do not know if Flixster, M-Go or others do.

LOL

So we do have an app on iOS and some Android devices such as Galaxy and the more current and new. Needs to be running the latest version of the Android OS. If its not marketed on TV we usually do not support it or its in the works. We also work on Nook HD, but not KIndle. Amazon hates it, kinda like Disney.

You can download to the device through the APP and watch offline.

Its called Vudu Movies and TV. It's free.

 
I use flixter on the roku is bypasses the region restriction! Least for now if I want to watch USA film on iPad I use a proxy server like a VPN
I use the free trile of hot spot even though you only get 7 days you can still load it up and use the flixter app

Though I use flixter to watch, I use vudu to register the codes my vuuv locker is attached to both
I cople of films I've bought codes for have not transferd to my flixter account

Sharknado
The reef
Lone Ranger ,I realise because Disney

I've got journey 2 code that won't redeem vi vudu
And I carnt fool flixter in to believing I'm from USA so have not been able to register it so far
I've tryed a few VPN apps and a proxy server but flixter still seems to know I'm in the uk

All so I have 2 USA iTunes codes and have not been able to redeem them ither
As I also have Apple TV but. Didn't really use it since I've got the roku

So people here are suggesting of converting their physical movies into the digital format and then selling them to other UV users? Wouldn't that be either illegal or against the terms and conditions? 

 
That is a fair point but if you already owned a copy. would this still be the case I have 100s of DVDs and lots ov VHS videos in my loft
There is nothing stoping someone converting there whole collection and just selling it on or borrowing a DVD. Older films can be bought for a cople of £ so if it came to it I could buy it secon hand and put it in the loft with the rest of the stuff I no longer use

To check if a movie with export to your Flixster account follow these steps.

1. Search the movie in Vudu.

2. Look at the Overview tab.

3. Look next to the studio.

4. If there is a UV logo the movie will import. If not it's stuck in Vudu.

You can search that so you can tell before you convert a movie.

Hope that helps.

This guy^^^^

Not quite exactly the profitable way you are lightly describing. Instead of building a "cloud" or "locker" with your DVD/Blu-Ray collection and then selling it to someone. We're suggesting that we start some kind of system where generous people (there are some of us around here who aren't just here to make a buck) will convert titles they have in their collection for others on the forums. They could be kind enough to convert these for FREE (obviously including VUDU fees for converting the title) or next to nothing. Even the possibility of trading 10 for 10. For example, say jack has 10 titles that Jill doesn't and vice versa. So Jack loads his 10 into the shopping cart for Jill while she does the same thing for Jack. Each party pays their VUDU fees for conversion and there ya go, both people are satisfied with 10 new HD/HDX titles.

Was going to ask, is it even possible to have someone log into your account, load up 10 titles into your shopping cart, sign-out of said account, and then have the owner of the account sign back in to make the purchase? Basically what I'm asking is will the titles still be there for purchase after having signed in on a different computer/network?

 
This guy^^^^

Not quite exactly the profitable way you are lightly describing. Instead of building a "cloud" or "locker" with your DVD/Blu-Ray collection and then selling it to someone. We're suggesting that we start some kind of system where generous people (there are some of us around here who aren't just here to make a buck) will convert titles they have in their collection for others on the forums. They could be kind enough to convert these for FREE (obviously including VUDU fees for converting the title) or next to nothing. Even the possibility of trading 10 for 10. For example, say jack has 10 titles that Jill doesn't and vice versa. So Jack loads his 10 into the shopping cart for Jill while she does the same thing for Jack. Each party pays their VUDU fees for conversion and there ya go, both people are satisfied with 10 new HD/HDX titles.
Yes, I had these cases in mind. Where people do each other a solid and make no profit. I am pretty sure it goes against the terms and conditions. Do I care? Not really, but I do not want CAG to get in trouble. Heck selling UV copies which have not been released yet, even if you have them, is not allowed on these forums therefore it makes me think CAG does not want to receive any unpleasant cease and desist letters from the studios.

And that is EXACTLY why it is in discussion at this point. There hasn't been any transactions made, at least to my knowledge. I'd like to get cold hard facts before diving straight into this. Which is another reason why it is a good thing we might know someone who may or may not be directly tied to them [VUDU] in some way, shape, or form.

Also, you mention UV codes for films that aren't even released yet being illegal to trade and/or sell. Next time you get an UltraViolet code insert, take a look at it and read it over one good time. Let me know if there is anything on there that says something along the lines of "Licensed digital copy - NOT FOR RESALE" Hate to tell ya mate but even the ones that have been officially released are still technically not allowed to be trade and/or sold by their terms & conditions. Which is the ultimate reason why we need to research this to the fullest before we go in head strong and then people get in trouble over it

I never said they were illegal to trade or sell. The difference between this and the digital codes is that those goods are sort of physical. Therefore I feel like its the grey area. Do terms and conditions actually mention trading or just selling?

For digital UV codes, they say "not for resale" but I have no clue about trading

As for disc to digital, that is something I need to read into as well

I was going to bring this topic up tonight after getting off of work. A buddy and I were wondering about the legality or infringement issues that may come with these services. I would love to have further information as to whether or not Vudu has any comments or insights to this subservice
