Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

I'm wondering when Vudu will allow HD playback on mobile devices.

Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

My favorite feature is I can now download the Vudu Disney titles with the iTunes client on my iPad in HD. Vudu doesn't let me download them in HD on the iPad.

Plus I can watch them using the Vudu client on my big screen TV in HDX with DD 5.1 sound. No need for Apple TV.

Good points. Native iOS for iPad playback is a good idea.

Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

My experience: Linking went without a hitch. The three Disney movies I had on Vudu that weren't on Disney Anywhere were immediately showing on Disney's site and on the linked Google Play account (don't use it, just have it for testing). Nothing showed up on Vudu for at least the next 3-4 hours but it was there this morning. None of the special features sadly.
So Vudu is slow but the movies should show up; you just may need to give it a day.

Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

I get that DMA is where the full list of movies resides, I said that DMA has all of them. The points are exactly what I am looking for, that's why I was waiting for them to show up in DMR. That's all

It probably wasn't unreasonable to ask. My past DC+ redemptions at Google Play generated DMR points when I linked it to DMA, but iTunes & Vudu did not. I assume Google Play had no way to tell DC+ redemptions from actual purchases, while iTunes & Vudu do.

Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

Is anyone still having problems with this linking of services. I had the DMA with itunes and disconnected with them to have everything with Vudu, everytime I link with DMA it says my account is already linked, when it isn't. What's the problem here and what can I do? been trying for the last 3 days and thought there would be updates to work out any kinks but I've run thin on this whole thing. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated

you could have stayed linked up with apple,Google and Vudu at the same time if you use google chrome browser you can use an incognito window log into DMA and unlink from vudu and then relink in the incognito window see if that works

[Oh Yeah]

Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

Have you tried linking via the Disney site to Vudu. Instead of Vudu to Disney?

Yeah I have tried that and still no luck

Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

I understand what you're saying but I hope you realize no code exists for Ratatouille or Meet the Robinsons. Regardless of how many movies you bought at one time it doesn't change that fact. There is no reason they should have given you those titles just because of the quantity of their movies that you decided to buy at one time. I own those movies, and many others do, and I can't see Disney giving us digital copies of those movies just because we hoped, wished, or expected that they would come with digital copies. As long as you understand why you didn't get them, and learned that in the future you will need to look at the packaging to see what contents are included, then everything should be good. You need to understand why they cannot just give you these digital copies -- it opens up the floodgates for everyone to complain about everything and get stuff that clearly wasn't advertised on the packaging.

I understand that but when you buy a bunch of 3D movies that all come with digital codes and combo packs that come with digital codes all at once after inspecting a few you assume that the others will also include the digital codes. Yes I should've examined each Bluray more carefully but when you buy a bunch of apples you assume each Apple is gonna be an apple and not something else. My account showed I redeemed all movies at one time and each one of the 18 titles was a bundle pack or 3D title and 14 of those titles all came with a digital copy yet all 18 titles came with a digital insert slip. It makes no sense why Disney would make the majority of titles bought with digital copies included but not on a very select few. That's what I was upset about. I was hoping since the four titles without codes can easily be bought on Vudu or DMA that Disney would see my account and see that I obviously bought all those movies at the same time and would say sorry for the confusion it's obvious you bought the bundle packs and more expensive 3D packs for the digital copies as you've redeemed them all on the same day so here are your four titles. It's obvious when the CS rep looked at my account she understood the confusion and even said so but said there was nothing they could do.

Even Vudu when a mistake is made will at least try to rectify the situation. Disney is just like well it's obvious you bought our movie but your gonna have to buy it again at full retail price just to get the digital download. What's even stranger is Disney offers you the option to buy a replacement disc for 8.00 once registered but no discounts on digital download codes.

OK, sorry for trying to help.

Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

What do you mean specifically by import into DMR?
EST direct digital purchases (from VUDU, iTunes, Google Play) should show up in your DMR list of points and the "My Collection" section, but code redemptions in itunes or Vudu won't. DMA is where your full list of movies resides, not DMR.

What is the background of the 2 movies and if they are in DMA what more if anything are you looking for besides possible DMR points?
If they are from Vudu purchases, maybe they can give you the points if you send a copy or screenshot of your purchase receipt.

Re: Walmart's Vudu Joins Disney Movies Anywhere

Well, I still have 2 movies that imported from Vudu to DMA but refuse to import over into Disney Movie Rewards. The rest of my Disney collection synced from Vudu to DMA to DMR, just not those 2.


Customer service had me unlink and relink the accounts, didn't help.

This is exactly why DMA's next big step needs to be some sort of D2D program, even if they end up charging more than UV D2D (not surprising for Disney, especially if Vault titles are included as they should be). IMO, based on my past experience with both Vudu's own D2D and the "D2D-esque" program at the now-defunct Disney Movies Online site (arguably the only way some Vault titles are available in DMA), Disney needs to offer both programs; Vudu D2D is much buggier than the DMO option, but the DMO option won't be available for most Touchstone & Hollywood titles (whether they end up in DMA or get a separate KeyChest-powered sharing site).
