    There are quite a few I'm interested in picking up ....like Mannequin and Teen Witch.
    I've been told that sometime soon those movies will become available. The executive team decided to merge the libraries and work out all of the licensing issues after customers file a complaint.

    Regardless as far as Vudu goes I created my lists for my collections / bundles. (IE Die Hard, Aliens, Terminator, MCU, DCU, etc. But then I don't ever use them.
    MA just added a My Lists function similar to what Vudu has. MA created lists for customers, including genre and franchise, and customers can add or delete, and even re-arrange the order of movies in a list.

    Is it possible that single movies got merged into bundles? That seems to be happening to several users.

    Might just take a little while.., I also bought Showgirls on FN (like last year sometime) and it transferred just fine. But around that same time, I also bought Mannequin, another title that was only available on FN- it showed up as having transferred to my Vudu library, but wouldn't play for the first few days; finally today it started playing with no problems.

    I merged my accounts this morning and it was done in 5 seconds. I bought quite a few movies on Fandango so I was surprised it was completed so fast. The vudu movie count went from 646 to 579. I bought a lot of bundles on FandangoNow that are now showing us bundles instead of as single movies, which is great.

    Everything was transferred correctly except one movie which was not available on vudu. Peter Sellers pink panther 6-movie bundle was transferred, but it is missing artwork and has an incorrect movie in it. A Shot in the Dark (1964) (not available on vudu) got replaced by a movie with the same name from 2005, with no relation to pink panther movies. Hopefully, this gets sorted out at some point.

    also, I bought Heat (director’s cut) on FandangoNow and saw that the theatrical version was also added to my account, which I did not buy. I did not check resolutions on any movies yet.

    Apparently, some executive thought it would be better to work out any licensing issues on Vudu after customers' libraries were merged.

    I have proof of every FandangoNow purchase that I made because I saved all the emails after the purchase. This has the resolution purchased as well. The merger hasn't even worked for me yet but will be very angry if I don't get the movies in the correct resolution because that's why I bought them on FandangoNow in the first place.

    Well, apparently if you had titles on FandangoNow that had higher quality audio or video, you are now out of luck with the merger. It seems that whatever was on Vudu is what takes priority, and we have no way to verify what exactly we have now lost and must rely on our own memory with no physical proof.

    There were several movies in my Vudu library that I ended up watching on other services like FandangoNow because Vudu had the movie only with stereo audio or the movie was in the wrong aspect ratio.

    Examples of HD/HDX movies that had 5.1 Dolby Digital audio on FN but only stereo on Vudu:
    Collateral
    Catch Me If You Can
    The Lost Boys
    Master and Commander
    Megamind
    Mission: Impossible 3
    Poltergeist (1982)
    Singin' In the Rain
    Tropic Thunder (Director's Cut)
    Twilight Zone: The Movie


    Examples of movies that were in the correct aspect ratio on FN but are cropped to full screen (1.78:1) on Vudu:
    Blazing Saddles
    Conspiracy Theory


    I have also noticed issues with two movies that played just fine prior to the library merge, but now are not in the versions I paid for:
    Labyrinth (no longer available in UHD despite Vudu showing that I own the UHD version)
    Bridge on the River Kwai (still UHD, but no longer with HDR)

    The response from Vudu support so far is that it is not that big a deal and that I should just live with it.

    I smell a class-action lawsuit in the making.....

How the heck am I going to audit what exactly happened? (I have a master Excel spreadsheet, but it will take forever to go line-by-line!) Suggestions...anyone?
    Mine was odd as well. Some movies which were individual titles at VUDU became inside bundles after the merge. I had to go row by row on VUDU (for hours) to sort out the collection vs the spreadsheet I manage for our digital libraries.

    I found duplicate titles as well.

    Go though all the various account pages. I just saw it’s still in mine even though I already did the transfer.

    Had similar issues.

    There should be button in the Account section of your Vudu account to start the merge. Give that a try.
