Figured it might be a good ideas to have a centralized thread where we could report our problems/issues with the new Beta rollout.
First, the good news. I tried a bunch of titles and had great results for HDX conversion, including:
PRIVATE PARTS (1972)
POINT BLANK (1969)
EARTHQUAKE
VIRUS (Universal)
VAMPIRES (John Carpenter)
DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID
MORE AMERICAN GRAFFITI
HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER
VIVA KNIEVEL!
MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME
THE GOLDEN CHILD
YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES
SERPICO
STEALING BEAUTY
TALK RADIO
Now the bad (sort of, for Vudu anyway): I put in my DVD of John Carpenter's 4-Movie Master of Fear Collection (Universal), hoping to convert VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED in the set. The disc read as THE THING (BLU-RAY) and offered to convert it for me for $2.00. Since I have THE THING on BLU anyway, I went ahead and did it, but the recognition was incorrect.
I tried (three times each) to do HDX conversions on the following titles, all of which are listed on Vudu's D2D program for eligibility:
THE PARALLAX VIEW
THE EIGER SANCTION
THE ICE PIRATES
All three of these discs came back multiple times with an errors that said something like "Error recognizing conversion format", and would not let me do them.
I put in the Warner disc of SINGLES (DVD), and I got a message that it could not be recognized. It asked me to manually input the title (which is also on the HDX list), and then said that they would "manually" research my title and, until I get an answer, I'm more than welcome to take it in to a Wal-Mart for conversion.
Just my .02 cents as a beta tester. Figured this thread could be a nice place to post any issues beta testers find. Maybe even make this a sticky thread?
