Convert old movies to iTunes purchases with Vudu and Movies Anywhere

[@Joreyblake]

I had no idea that this could be done. I converted 25-30 movies yesterday after watching this! Thanks for posting!

[@camesapassarelli402]

Jorey Blake so u paid the 2.00 fee for each converted movie?

[@olevet75]

@@camesapassarelli402 is there any other alternatives?

[@jeffzest8393]

I do not see a way to access menu and then disc to digital on Vudu? Perhaps this video is outdated? Thanks.

[@Daremachina]

Just a warning that not every movie that scans using disc to digital will be available in Movies Anywhere. Make sure to manually search for a movie in Movies Anywhere first, if it doesn’t appear you won’t be available through iTunes

[@kevinrudy]

That’s a given

[@appledadlife]

VUDU Can also connect to ULTRAVIOLET, and have an Apple TV app

[@rogerthat1962]

Just received an email from UltraViolet. They are out of business.

[@truthwarrior1358]

the feature no longer exists on the VUDU App...!!

[@NathanH83]

Except that it doesn’t work with Paramount, Lionsgate, and MGM films.

[@jobengals86]

And eff them for still doing that.

[@paulcato5380]

I was wondering why some of movies weren't showing up! (I even disconnected and reconnected the accounts twice and was annoyed as hell)

[@HunKim]

There's a caveat, the license will be for HD so you don't get the 4k 'upgrade' that Apple provides for all current HD content available for 4k. So if you sync a movie from VUDU to ATV via MA, you don't even have an option to purchase or upgrade to watch a 4K version of the movie in Apple TV 4K etc.

[@Daremachina]

Hun Kim if I’m not mistaken the participating studios are the same ones that opted out of making 4K available on iTunes. If there is a 4K version available Apple upgrades you for free so Disney, WB, and others have simply not made those versions available on iTunes.

[@HunKim]

Daremachina I'm not referring to the ones not available, I'm talking about even the available in 4k versions in iTunes.

[@techguypaul]

Disney is the only studio that opted out of the 4K upgrade.

[@tedmosby1233]

" If there is a 4K version available Apple upgrades you for free " not true. Apple clarified. You get the "free" upgrade if it's available on iTunes in 4K ==AND== you bought it at the iTunes store, OR you redeemed a code for it on iTunes in HD, OR you have a 4K UHD Digital license for it at one of the other Movies anywhere providers (VUDU, Google Play, Amazon) and the studios allows that you will get the copy in 4K if also available on iTunes in 4K The problem is the Apple TV shows 4K on the movie information page EVEN for titles you can't actually stream in 4K. Example HD titles that come into iTunes via HD purchase or code redeems on VUDU, Google Play or iTunes. Here is a video that better explain the issue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXavqGyXiMqohdE

[@briansevilla4046]

Sooooo, is this 100% compatible with Apple TV, and are these movies transferred over to my Apple ID? or only show up because Movies Anywhere is installed?

[@TheRealCompensator]

Although it’s 4 years later. My preference is to have the physical copy, and redeem the code to a stream service version like Apple.

[@notcarlos7551]

I had no idea this was possible!! thank you very much!!

[@truthwarrior1358]

Would you be able to make a new video showing how to really use this app?

[@beuhlig]

Will it work with TV shows?

[@lollipopcorndog]

omg awesome. I thought it wasn’t possible. It makes my digital purchase worth it.

[@Carissa94]

Can I use this in reverse? Can I move a movie from iTunes onto VUDU?

[@recless8667]

Just sync iTunes to Movies Anywhere; it's awesome for merging libraries.

[@userbosco]

Scan disk is no longer an option - please remove video

[@PeteZajot]

After doing that can o still watch them on Vudu?

[@hectormendoza8610]

Not available in my country 🙄 as always..

[@rodrickcuber9311]

Hector M. Te comprendo Héctor jajajaj :(

[@rodrickcuber9311]

Hector M. Pero tengo entendido que puedes cambiar tu localización y la de App Store y puedes descargarte Movies anywhere y la de vudu y listo

[@recless8667]

You should look into Tunnel Bear

[@appledadlife]

Best tip ever!

[@CarlosV954]

Does it also give you the iTunes extras?

[@yugiboy578]

Cesr3B galapagos if it’s the HD version than yes it will.

[@Bewefau]

One of my movies are not showing in iTunes :(

[@magicnathan6545]

0:49 That's not a good thing

[@ColdPillows]

Disc to digital is now on the website not the app

[@jamiewright7616]

US only?

[@TheBlackDahlea]

What if you only have the disks??

[@toddhensley880]

Is there something like this for books?

[@wturner777]

Todd Hensley Me too.

[@lucansanchez5129]

About time! But this should be done automatically when you perchese a movie, weather it's from a shop hard copy disc or from Google play, apple or Amazon, PlayStation movies or xbox the system should automatically make the movie accessible on all platforms. I can't believe it's took so long to get to this stage, it should of been standard from the beginning of the digital movie perches platforms! People have been getting ripped off for years. And people still can't have a personal collection library because of all these platforms. It's such a bad system and service! My library is my own personal movie collection what does a digital store or shop have to do with my collection of movies. My personal movie collection is for my device and I store them on the hard drive, not in a app from a digital movie store! If you did this with hard copy disc movies you would have to go to the shop to watch your movie collection!? That makes no sense, so why make a point of doing this in the digital perches system!? It's a "F/:+=:' crime" and it's been going on from the beginning of digital service's. If you buy a video, dvd player you just need one machine, you don't need a different one because you Brought a movie disc in a different shop. It's unbelievable! Hopefully the system will change and eventually do the same with music, books and games industry too! 😐

[@kateromero3333]

You’re paying to use their copy at your convenience without having to have a disc copy anymore... you can access it anywhere, from any mobile device with internet. 🤷‍♀️

[@tedmosby1233]

Why do you think we loved Vudu / UV so much? - What you are really going to be pissed about is that you could have built your library into the thousands of free movies back when credits were like free candy from your perv-ee uncle.

[@yvonneanderson912]

Vudu movies still not in my itunes

[@agentD99]

Wait? I did not get The Lion King.

[@UnbelievabIeMontages]

how mch they paid you

[@drjsmom294]

I don't see VUDU on my apple tv. Help??

[@kateromero3333]

Rebecca Jones it’s there... I’ve downloaded it on both of mine... make sure you’re typing it in, not using voice... for some reason it didn’t recognize “Vudu” when I was using the microphone button, even though it look like it was spelling it correctly.

[@vinnielangdonshow]

Signed up for movies anywhere and didn't get the 5 free movies. Boo! :(

[@Dom8o8]

Vinnie Langdon you need to link it to two other stream sites such as Vudu and iTunes

[@ASTEROIDALAIN]

I didn't get my 5 free movies I conceded all my services!!!

[@larrycrain4505]

what do you do with limited edition when trying to do disc to digital

[@recless8667]

Try using the desktop app; it requires a blu-ray drive, but I had a lot more success with that than I did with the phone app. You put the disk into the blu-ray drive to verify ownership instead of using a barcode, so it doesn't care about special editions and multi-boxed sets (most of the time).

[@NoahWiles]

Amazing!

[@userbosco]

Why is your left hand under the desk? What are you doing down there? xD

[@mhill2468]

Sweet I can create an account using my Walmart account

[@theaztecwarrior1190]

Universal the best

[@espro436]

Simpler and faster to download from torrent tracker.

[@techguypaul]

Except this is actually legal.

[@recless8667]

That's not the point. It's also simpler to just stream it through Showbox (laughs in Android), but some of us have two nickels to rub together and want to have legal copies we don't have to physically host, and then set up a casting service from NAS, oh and let's not forget having to rebuild the database every time a drive goes out. I pay $2 per disk and I just hit Cast; it's simple and it's easy, and I can afford $2 all day.

[@tiltheendoftim3]

How long does it take?

[@recless8667]

It doesn't actually make a copy of the disk; it gives you DRM licenses (which is basically instantaneous). VUDU will then want you to download the movie and save it on your device, but Movies Anywhere will let you cast anything from your VUDU library instead (after you've synced VUDU to Movies Anywhere).

[@kevinrudy]

I have been doing this for years before movies anywhere and Disney bought fox. Even was able to do most fox films. Why I don’t understand the hate for digital media. It’s so much cheaper.

[@checkpoint209]

Moviebox is king

[@xxbmoneyplaysgamesxx4759]

I would do this if I didn't have to pay

[@cableson5227]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! (also, I'm ruining this now, but before posting this we're at 669 likes and 69 comments. Thought it should be documented.)

[@AidanDownes_KH]

lol

[@thegodbox12]

They stop vudu its not supported on iOS anymore these big movie companies suck

[@Ilovemovies917]

I did that before it won’t convert Disney movies 😡

[@shannawharton4624]

Disney is not Supported

[@taxin2476]

This sucks, i have 800 DVDs all hand picked, i have a real mans movie collection. I soent thousands to build this collection. And now i have to pay more per movie. I bought it i own it who buys the same thing twice. i know it's 2$ to 5$ but with 800 plus movies and counting.

[@n8vdescent]

Taxin 24/7 did u not keep the digital copy slip that came with the 800? Should’ve had at least 400 of them

[@wturner777]

Taxin 24/7 You don't have to convert all of them at once. Just do a little bit at a time, preferably every payday. And once you have them all converted, you can sell all your physical copies if you wish.

[@Gershy13]

Or you could just rip the blu ray or dvd yourself, or if you are really lazy go and torrent the thing.

[@wturner777]

Gershon Dharmanandan That's an option, if you want to go to jail that is.

[@recless8667]

Ok, first of all, Willie has obviously never looked into the legality of torrenting; you only go to jail for uploading, not for downloading. Set your shit up right and all you'll get are cease and desists. Secondly, to the OP: That's not the point. Some of us have two nickels to rub together and want to have legal copies we don't have to physically host, and then set up a casting service from NAS, oh and let's not forget having to rebuild the database every time a drive goes out. I pay $2 per disk and I just hit Cast; it's simple and it's easy, and I can afford $2 all day.

[@Boutiki]

Gershon Dharmanandan whats this whole rippp thing? I have a couple of blue ray discs that I would like to make copies of how can I? Rip the dsic

[@Paulieg610]

If only this program was available in 2020, “The UPC _________ is not eligible” Even tho The Simpsons Movie is

[@dreammessenger1893]

Garbage we already know.

[@MrMRforever]

Shut up
