    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.

    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.)

I wish there was a way to import from a text list, but I'm going to put in most of the DVDs I have. That way it will be easier later on to choose which I want to have added to my Vudu account.

    It is nice that you can add a movie, then later change the quality you want or remove it. I'm using this more like a wishlist, to keep track of the ones that I could transfer if I wanted to do so.

    okay, starting today, vudu seems to be having account issues....
    the walmart rep checked his account and it was fine, it seems though, that some of the accounts that already have items saved or listed on the flash list for you to print has the list blank and an error comes up as soon as you log in to add movies.

    Snapshot of Error:



    Anyone else having this problem? judging from the error's content, it leads me to beleave that this is a vudu website/account problem that not only affects the "print list" but also the ability to convert movies.
    It also seems that it doesn't matter what browser you use, i tried chrome, IE, firefox, and safari(i know safari isn't officially supported anymore anyway but thought i'd give it a shot.).

    We'll have this corrected a little bit later today. You'll have the ability to print more than 25. Sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

    Using the UPC is an absolutely excellent idea! Hello, VUDU! Pay attention, please

    It looks like someone really needs to do some database cleaning.

    Maybe be neither are pan & scan. Why would anyone do that anymore? Nobody is watching HDX on a 4:3 screen.

    More importantly, I prepared a list to print just to see what it looked like, and some of the movies were listed as pan-and-scan, some were labeled as 2-disc sets...what the heck is up with that? I know I don't own any P&S movies. We need to be able to see all those details when looking up the movies, but I couldn't see them until I tried to print it.

    Hmm, let's get a bit more specific:



    Still duplicates, and nothing to distinguish them. OK, let's go back to the first list, and click on "14 results found", see if that gets me a better list:



    Well that's....interesting....two entries with exactly the same information. I have the Extended version, so is that even in here?



    tl;dr version: The different movie versions really need to be very specifically identified.
