    MAC - Disc to Digital

    Starting a new thread here for the Mac version of the D23D beta (or live) for those of us that need / want it.

    Any idea of some sort of time frame from Vudu team would be awesome but I know they haven't officially chimed in yet, sooo......

    Either way none of my PC's can be make to work with the external blu-ray and blu-ray disc for some reason, with or without D2D software. Though DVD's seems to work perfect with PC's with or without D2D software. Odd. Tried three different machines with varied age, config, and OS.

    The Mac's of course seem to have no problem with the external blu-ray. Be it plugged into system direct, through a USB hub, with USB only and no power adapter, or with power adapter attached. DVD and Blu-ray disc all come up and work perfect.

    It's just odd that no matter what the set-up no PC will work for me with Blu-Ray but all Mac will on any set-up. And it's not a Mac specific drive, actually it's PC specific, I just happened to only use it with the (main) Mac during this time.

    I REALLY don't want to have to install PC emulation on the Mac JUST to get access to the D2D software.

    Mac version SOON, PLEASE ! ! !

    +1 for Mac D2D, but I'd be even happier if my Playstation 3 could be D2D enabled!

      Few things...

      Tied "CrossOver Mac" this is a free to try program that emulates the Windows OS for "certain" programs. I downloaded it. Selected Firefox. It set up, configured, and installed a system then booted "windows" and ran Firefox. I then downloaded Abobe Air, then downloaded the beta D2d. And BAMM it was up and running and asking for a disk. It saw the blu-ray drive and disc but said it couldn't validate any disc I put in even though they are on the list. Darn. SOO close. And thus all only took 10 min. Wow.

      Also tried "VirtualBox" which is a free program similar to the paid Parallels. It's far more complicated and you have to have a Windows OS. After 20 min I had it set up and recognizing the blu-ray drive, but could not get it to boot and install the windows os. Another fail.

      DARN ! ! !

        Count me as a +1 for the PS3 D2D! That would solve the issue of me not having a Blu-ray drive for my PC.

          Re: MAC - Disc to Digital

          I think for the mainstream public having it as an app on their blu-ray player is probably the best answer. Blu-Ray players cost about the same or less than a blu-ray on the computer. They may already have the stand alone bluray but not the bluray on the computer. Adding a $100+ computer part just to add existing movies makes less sense over a stand alone blu-ray which will give more functionally for the money.

          The possible reason I see doing this as a beta on computers is we're more likely to accept this fine turning then bluray only owners. Likewise you can reach many more people with one coding version. Stand alone bluray players are going to need a separate coding for each series, brand, and / or model. Perfect example is that I have MOG streaming music on my iPad, iPhone, Mac's, Windows's, blu-ray players, and general web interface. Each and EVERY one is a different interface,even the labels of buttons / functions are different. It doesn't even have anything to do with what OS or screen size the device is. They're all done by different coding teams with only a BARE minimum set of standards to go off. So weird.

              I see that. Nice. Look's like they polished up the website as well.

              I'm not near my Mac but it looks like it's only for converting DVD's still and not Blu-Ray yet. Likewise the pricing still seems higher than Vudu. Can you confirm I can't see anything on the FAQ and can't test with my Mac till tomorrow.

                Also, a few of us have noticed that for some movies that are available to convert via CinemaNow Player for Windows, the Mac version will say that it's the wrong version or that version can't be converted. I have yet to see the reverse occur, though.

                  Half way there perhaps.

                  It recognizes every disc I've throw at. However, it also says every signal one is not offered on Disc to Digital even though they are all actually on the list.

                  Sigh !

                  I can only image what the people who bought Samsung Blu-Ray players for the disc to digital feature are feeling. For OVER a year they have been told it will be any day now. WOW, now that sucks.
