Disc-to-Digital movie list issues

Re: Disc-to-Digital movie list issues

Max, I'm new to D2D so I can upgrade a movie I had converted as SD to HDX at a later date?

No idea; we've been trying to get an answer about that since D2D was first announced. In fact, that's the main reason I haven't brought in any discs yet, since there are some that I own that are only available in SD, and I don't want to pay $2 now for them and $5 later if they become available in HD later.

Also, I was under the impression that the Walmart certification process requires the VUDU "My Movie List" queue so the clerk doesn't have to key in anything but the confirmation code. Deleting that list after your print it off would mess up the Walmart certification process wouldn't it?

Yes, I posted that in April, before we knew much about how it would work. I had wanted to use it as a wishlist/bookmark list for all the discs I own that are eligible, but now I'll have to print out my current list and delete the ones I don't want to convert right away.

Also, I take only about 10-15 movies at a time to Walmart for certification because I don't want to overwhelm the staff since D2D certification is just another consumer transaction and Walmart has not staffed up for it. I didn't want other shoppers to have to stand around a long time waiting on me. Since I grocery shop there once or twice a week, I just work in the D2D certification into my weekly shopping visits. I'll convert all that I can eventually that way. I started with my favorites and work backward from there.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. From what I hear from other people here, the process doesn't take too long, and most Walmarts don't have a particularly busy photo section. I'm planning on converting as many as I can at once, but the nearest Walmart is 25-30 minutes away. (Personally, I'm hoping to find another method eventually, like a D2D-enabled Blu-ray player or something similar.)
