    Speak for yourself. I'll keep using Vudu, thank you very much.

    You just absolutely refuse to listen to what I have to say, don't you? Once again (and I'll type it real slow so you can follow) - I never said that you shouldn't make requests for things you'd like to see. My point is that suggesting, inferring, thinking (I know you're big on semantics, I'm trying to cover my bases) that your idea will be/could be/should be profitable/beneficial to Vudu is completely pointless. Vudu (and ever other company on the planet) doesn't care what your thoughts on how profitable your ideas would be to implement. They have the resources and the data themselves to determine how profitible your (or any customer's) ideas may be. If they think they're worth implementing, they'll do so. In short: make your suggestions. Don't tell them why they're worth implenting. They make that decision, not customers.

    So what you are saying is that you "think" that the contracts with the studios actually spell it out in language that limits us to DVDs and Bluerays? I was hoping that the wording might allow us to read into it 'convert movies' instead of 'convert DVDs or Bluerays'.

    Thanks for the reply...I guess we will have to keep using Amazon.com and the kids will have to keep remembering to rewind.

    Thanks for posting...could you help me understand why it would be difficult to allow us to take in a copy of a VHS tape or show proof that we own a digital copy on Amazon.com instead of a DVD. A person at Walmart can verify that just as easily as they can a DVD. As long as the movie is on D2D then I simply don't understand why the format should matter.

    Walmart only cares that we own the movie.
    Actually, my point was it doesn't really matter what Walmart/VUDU cares about, it's what the studios agree to. UV, D2D, purchase vs. rental, SD/HD, etc - VUDU can only offer what the studios license. And personally I think they *have* come a long way from the old "please buy every new format that comes out" to joining UltraViolet and even better, allowing D2D (except for George Lucas, maybe )

    Anyway, lack of interest in "VHS to digital" is just my opinion, but it would definitely be a lot more effort (software changes, contracts, marketing, training, etc) than just showing a Walmart employee a videotape

    It turned into an hour before he got me taken care of, and another 20 minutes talking to the store manager about how I knew more about entering customer information then the associates did. I asked for a $20 gift card, since I converted 4 DVDs. She gave me a $10 store credit card. She assured me she'd see to it that everyone knew how to do D2D. I think I've already converted all of the DVDs I care to convert anyway.

    If it makes you feel any better, I had to wait almost a half hour today for someone who could find a TV in the back stockroom

    Not if you ask my wife or my parents.

    I can't imagine, as Jake said, that there would be too many people who stopped buying movies when VHS was mainstream (and never bought DVDs) would have a desire to go D2D. But if they come to allow it because a few people requested it, then yay for us!

    Re: What about digital to digital?

    Honestly though... I don't really care... I have maybe 500 VHS tapes rotting in my garage and I still think that VHS to Digital is akin to grave robbing... society already went through the 5 stages of greif when VHS died so why go back to the "bargaining" stage now.

    Well aware of that... lol almost insulted that you would think I needed to be told...

    But the content available on Vudu or well anywhere is going to be encoded from a digital source.

    And the argument could be made that that the digital form of the media and the analog form are fundamentally different.

    As for how different that obviously depends on when/how the movie was made and when/in what formats it was released on home video ect

    Well this should please you. I disagree with your premise. The whole D2D has nothing to do with remastering. Whether you own a movie on VHS has nothing to do with a movie needing remastering. It either is, or it isn't available on D2D. The transaction doesn't reencode your media, I'm sure you know that. Some people may have old VHS movies that are available titles for D2D.

    And for the record, I don't decide to disagree just for the sake of debating. I either agree with what is said, or I don't. There is nothing wrong with having a difference of opinion.
