Movies Anywhere, actually replacing UltraViolet ?

Re: Movies Anywhere, actually replacing UltraViolet ?

How exactly does one do that? They were linked to my UV account, and they show up to watch here, but they don't go back out to MA.

If your vudu account is connected to both Ultraviolet and Movies Anywhere, movies that you received through UV (eg, you bought them at Fandangonow or elsewhere), that are also MA eligible, should go to your MA account automatically (though maybe not quickly - sometimes it can take a day or two).

Well, I?ve been connected to MA since day one, and nothing purchased anywhere but VUDU hasn?t carried over. Not even titles redeemed at studios.

I could only suggest the typical unlink and link again.

I've added titles to iTunes as well as studios and Vudu and I so far (knock on wood) I've seem all in Vudu and my MA account.

FYI I never had to unlink and re link. Just got lucky I guess.

Update:
Got a message from Vudu support today and they told me that titles ported into VUDU from other Non-MA participating UV retailers would not export to MA. So, I doubt my TargetTicket and CinemaNow purchases will ever go to MA unless MA somehow absorbs what is left of UV after the other studios join in. Maybe that?s wishful thinking, but at least TV titles would be brought into the system that way.

WTF? I've not bought anything digitally-only from these sites but I have redeemed 19 blu-ray codes on Sony & Flixster and all but 3 paramount titles are in MA now. Not sure if they are saying there is a difference between Blu-ray code and a digital purchase but if it isn't just incorrect info from a support person, it is some serious bull on the part of the studios (and/or VUDU) if it is true.

Re: Movies Anywhere, actually replacing UltraViolet ?

I noticed that a lot of the Recently Added movies are MA-only. This is certainly an indicator that UV will eventually end. I'm sure it will take a long time, maybe two or three years, as things in this industry tend to be SLOW.

What titles specifically? I haven't noticed this other than the normal Disney titles which have always been DMA only.

just a few examples, it seems that any Fox or Warner catalog titles released are only MA not UV,

Hi,

I signed up for MA when I first heard of the launch. As much as I like UV, this is a better model for digital purchases and it also opens up the obvious of being able to purchase movies from Disney-owned studios like Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, etc. So far the process has been smooth and I was able to link with all retailers including Vudu. I have close to 500 films in my digital library and over 340 of them transferred over to MA. I thought it would be less than that given that this just launched, but so far I'm impressed. 90% of the films I have were bought from Vudu as it's my primary digital store so I have the obvious option for the films that don't transfer over soon. I'm hoping that most if not all studios get on board so MA can officially be the digital standard for movies and TV. As far as TV shows, I have several series that I want to buy, but I've been waiting for the respective studios to join UV. As far as MA including TV, I have reached out to them and asked outright if TV will be added eventually, but all I was told was it was a great question and to go to the help section on the MA website for the latest information. As far as new studios I heard that Lionsgate is likely going to be next to join, with paramount showing interest. I think we're going to hear more after the new year. One thing I have noticed about MA that I like is they have added bonus content automatically to a lot of the movies I own so I've been going through a lot of the bonus content I didn't have access to before.

I lost about 300 titles in my MA account and MA says it is a Vudu issue. That titles imported into Vudu from other UV accounts are no longer showing correctly in MA. All my titles were there a few days ago and now lots are missing. MA can still seey titles but they are no longer being sent from Vudu to MA correctly. These are all titles that I have in my Vudu account from redeeming at other UV retailers and from my shared UV account. Somehow according to MA Vudu has removed them. Vudu....any assistance here?

Hi,

I also had some movies purchased from both those retailers and I didn't have a problem getting those films to show up. Personally, I think it is a shame that target ticket didn't stick it our because they were the ones that with the exception of vudu had good deals. Vudu is the most consistent out of the digital stores, but Target was at least on it's way to being a viable number two, in my opinion.

This is NOT true. The reserve is though. MA titles that import into your Vudu account will NOT export out to UV. Hope this clears up some of the confusion.
