    When Disney had its old online movie service (Disney Movies Online) they had a program where for movies you had redeemed the DMR code you could pay (maybe about $5?) and get the online copy. (They shut that service down in 2012, refunded everyone's money and then when DMA started they gave everyone back the movies they had purchased for free.)

    So one thought is that Disney's version of Disc2Digital may be DMR to digital.

    This of course won't cover Touchstone and other movies without DMR codes, so for those there may still be hope for D2D.

    Here's the rub.

    Example:
    • Sister buys "Frozen" on Vudu. "Frozen" is now part of Sister's DMA account and can be viewed in Sister's iTunes account.
    • Brother buys "Captain America" on Vudu. "Captain America" is now part of Brother's DMA account and can be viewed in Brother's iTunes account.
    • Via iTunes Family Share, Sister can view Brother's "Captain America" in her iTunes account. Also, Brother can view Sister's "Frozen" in his iTunes account.
    • "Frozen", now in Brother's iTunes account, does NOT go in to Brother's DMA account and, thusly, NOT in to Brother's Vudu account.


    In essence, much to my disappointment, the iTunes Family Share does not act like a UV-library.

    Let me know if anyone has had any different experiences.
    Yes I have experienced this also, I too was hoping for otherwise, but oh well.

    But, I don't think you can solely blame this on iTunes. It may be a function of the way DMA works and to limit abuse. The problem with your scenario is that the shared iTunes movies are not actually "in" the other persons account, they are just viewable from the account.
    Someone could just as easily blame Vudu for not sharing the Disney movies between shared accounts.

    If iTunes sharing resulted in movies transferring to DMA, it would be a functional bypass on the 180 day waiting period on linking to a different account because there is no such limitation on iTunes family sharing.

    Only releases from Disney, Pixar and Disney-Marvel movies right now, no Touchstone, Dreamworks etc.

    If you want to know if a movie is eligible look to see if it is listed on the DMA website.

    and they own episode's 1,2,3,5,6 after 2020 they technically never get the rights too episode 4 but i would guess there will be a profit sharing agreement or we will never get a complete box set again

    yes and no if vudu lost digital rights to them they may have to pull them off there servers , but i'm not sure how that all works

    Disney isn't going anywhere any time soon with pulling the plug with DMA so that is the last thing on my mind

    but as long as Vudu is still selling Disney products then the movies will stay in vudu and the same for sales and staying in the accounts for google and itunes

    True, but there is one small complication: While the DMA app, iTunes and (for a handful of titles, mainly Toy Story of Terror) Google Play will give you extras no matter where you buy, as a rule Vudu will only give you extras if you bought the movie as a "with bonus features" bundle at Vudu, or in some cases if you redeemed the code at Vudu. Edit: May not matter to some (especially with the DMA app), but it matters if you want the extras in Vudu.

    I'm willing to bet that the system is confused -- there's some kind of bug. Basically your Tron 3D purchase from Vudu transferred from Vudu to DMA and is superseding the 2D version coming from iTunes in the DMA account. When you bought Tron 3D, did you buy the one that's 2D/3D + Bonus Features http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content...cy-2D3D-Bundle or did you buy the 3D only one http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content...Tron-Legacy-3D ??? Maybe something was messed up when Vudu started making the 3D versions only available for purchase through bundles when before you could order them outside the bundle. When you see a free-standing 3D movie, they are usually only available for rental now.
    yeah that's what I've been telling them. I think it had the same file name on the server because somewhere one should say
    Tron Legacy 3D HDX.mp4 and the other Tron Legacy HDX.mp4 your talking to someone who came from xbmc/plex

    no I had the 3D months before the 3d/2d bundle was offered , if not I would have gotten the bundle and I would have never known about this bug
