    I believe it was about a week before the previous end date.
    Awesome, thanks madmod, I'll wait until at least a day or two before the deadline this time.

      I'm pretty sure there was no announcement either. Someone on the board noticed the date changed on the d2d page.

        I think it's a missed opportunity for Vudu to get rid of the 50% off deal. Keeping that incentive means that I have no reason to go with another D2D company like Flixster or CinemaNow.

          I think there are plenty of other reasons to not go with the competition No bd support on CN and $5 bd conversions (as well as other strange pricing) on flixster.

            I know there are some BluRays Flixster is offering D2D conversion on, but Blurays are not yet officially supported on Flixster. Maybe if they are offically added the price will drop and CN will offer it as well.
            Television shows and Blu-ray discs are not supported at this time.

            CN does seem to have better disc recognition than VUDU, but I will probably stick with VUDU out of loyalty when I can.

              I'm hoping they will consider making 10 or more 50% off it's allowed me to convert more movie than what I originally planned. If not I will probably do fewer conversions on only DVDs and Blu-rays I really want to keep in the UV cloud. Also for DVDs there is no reason for me to just use Vudu since there will be no price difference to convert DVDs to HD UV.

                All the blu rays I've tried were read through Flixster so I think it's official. From what I remember they did not announce when the beta ended either. It just stopped one day. Basically their BD prices and SD prices suck compared to Vudu (I see random pricing on SD movies through them). Another problem they have is when a movie is not in their database (like some multi movie discs) it will spit them out and give a message saying you are using a burned disc rather than letting you report the DVD. CN seems to be the closest in terms of quality compared to Vudu. I'm probably preaching to the choir, but once Vudu gets it's database and disc read errors together I will not look back.

                  I feel the same way...but then, once the sale is over and Vudu no longer has a price advantage I will immediately try all the discs that Vudu couldn't identify properly with the other D2D services. Right now, I'm still waiting to see if they might be fixed while the sale is still going on. But that's money Vudu could and should have taken.

                    I've mostly got DVDs, so no Blu-ray support doesn't really screw up my plans. So getting rid of that discount means I'm more likely to walk to one of the other companies, especially if Vudu is going to continue dragging its feet on fixing these disc read errors.

                      What really gets me is when a disc is not recognized and after providing the title of the disc it still gives you this message:

                      Thank you!
                      We are in the process of manually verifying your disc. We will contact you as soon as the verification is complete.

                      For instant conversion you may take this disc to your nearest Walmart store.
                      It would appear that most discs never get manually verified so it seems false information is being provided. In addition, Vudu has already claimed that the customer won't be contacted once a verification is complete during the beta program. Given that the beta is one year old you'd think it really wouldn't have been that hard to change that message to avoid further confusion.

                          I have spent easily $2000 with Vudu since they started the 50% deal, I doubt I will use the service if the 50% offer goes away.

                            Yes I have verified this 100's of time and never once have they ever gotten back to about 1 of them. On Flixster though they do get back to you! 8 or 9 in the past month popped up and said these movies are now available and you dont even have to put in a disc to get the movies because they store the info that you once tried to convert it. Very nice!!

                                Let's keep the Flixster talk to a minimum please. I'd hate for my thread to get locked like the other threads.
