    First off, howdy neighbor! Wow, I may have to go buy some of your old Blu-rays to convert! And it's right next to Baying Hound Aleworks, too, another reason for me to go. BTW. if you like beer, try their Maddie's Mole, they donate a portion of each sale to the MCHS. The Taj Mahound is also very good. They're in a warehouse space at 1108 Taft St.

      Re: Who's got the biggest VUDU (D2D, UV) library here?

      Here is my list. I am slugging away slow but sure. Each is HDX when available. The crisp picture quality is worth the extra $3.00 to me.

      I average about 5 D2D every two weeks and about one outright purchase per month.

      I am not a rich man. I do enjoy this as a hobby and like that it is going to take me over a year to complete my D2D at my current burn rate. It gives me a rush when I bring a batch in for D2D conversion.

      If Disney joins, the time it will take me will more then double.

        You have some great titles. One of these days I will figure out how to post a screenshot of my collection lol. I think the way you are doing D2D is smart. Last year when D2D came out I dropped a pretty penny converting and settling for SD now that I have maybe 20 SD that are now HDX I have to shell out more money. It is better to do it right the first time.

          How does that work? Does VUDU let you simply pay the difference in price since you already have SD, or do you need to pay full price for the HDX version?

It is better to do it right the first time.

            I am slow to pull the trigger on any SD(only) movie for just that reason. I am also pretty thorough with sequels.

            For instance, I have...;

            -all three Matrix via D2D HDX upgrades from DVD.
            -all three Lord of the Rings via D2D HDX upgrades from DVD.
            -all seven Harry Potters via D2D HDX (mix of DVD & Bluray).
            -all three Bourne in HDX (two from D2D via DVD and one outright purchase)
            -all three Ocean 1x via D2D HDX upgrades from DVD
            -all three Spider-man via D2D HDX (two from DVD, one from Bluray)
            -all three Transformer in HDX (one from D2D upgrade and two from outright purchases)
            -both Fantastic 4 via D2D HDX from Bluray
            -All four Indiana Jones in HDX (purchased as a Bundle)
            -Both Sherlock Holmes (from outright purchases)
            -Both Kung Fu Panda in HDX via D2D from Bluray
            -All four Mission Impossible in HDX (purchased as a Bundle)

            So, when I hit a title which has sequels, I try to complete the collection before moving on. If I don't have it on my D2D list, I do an outright purchase from Vudu.

            That is just how I do it. It is nice to be able to round out the collections this way before moving on and yet another example of the benefit of collecting via Vudu. I really enjoy it.

            Some people collect sport cards. Some collect butterflies. I collect entertainment titles that were produced with multi-million dollar budgets.

            Much more fun.

              Full price for the HDX even if you have the SD version already. I requested we only be charged the delta, but so far no response.

                  Not in the iPhone/iPod/iPad app, nor on the PC/MAC. Only in the PS3/XBox or Roku. I think the Bluray player app has it too.

                  It lets you sort your titles by several different criteria, including alphabetically. That is how I keep mine sorted.

                    I routinely toggle between "alphabetical" and "date added." I have a measly ( ) 65 titles in my VUDU cloud right now -- but expect that number to increase significantly in the next few weeks.

                        Walter-S_North_Carolina answered you already, just above. No idea when the sort feature was enabled, but I have it on the VUDU channel on my Roku.

                            I too am having too much fun with this. I took my Bluray player into a Pawn Shop. It was sitting in my garage collecting dust for almost a year.

                            I got $15 for it. The guy at the counter said they stopped taking movies (both DVD and Bluray) and are in the process of liquidating their inventory. He said everyone was dumping their DVDs and going for streaming services and they were ending up with way too much inventory for the decreasing demand.

                            I took a DVD copy of "Gothika" off his hands for $2.00. It was on my wish list.

                            I then took it to WalMart and did a 1080p upgrade on it and now have that title in my UV locker.

                            Total cost = $7.00 ($2.00 at Pawn Shop + $5.00 at WalMart)

                            I used the remainder of the $15.00 from selling my old Bluray player to add two more titles from my waiting-to-be-converted-queue.

                            I added;
                            1) "Horton Hears a Who!" as a $2.00 Bluray to 1080p/HDX UV conversion
                            2) "The Story of Qiu Ju" as a $2.00 DVD to SD UV conversion
                            -This one I was thinking of waiting to see if an HDX version would come out so I could do an upgrade from my DVD, but figured an obscure title from 1992 may be a long wait and decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on an SD conversion to get it into the UV locker.

                            This brings my title total now to 112.

                            On Friday (which is my payday), I am going to be bringing in between 4 to 7 new titles from my queue for 1080p/HDX DVD-->UV conversions via D2D.

                            Only two days away...

                                Damn on the 3900. I don't think I could even name 3900 movies.

                                This is old. I'm at 1398 now. I'll break 1400 in April for sure. Other than that I should only go up less than 10 movies a month unless some new studios get added to the back log. As I said before, uvvu.com really sucks when you have a lot. The site is unresponsive most times. Also the flixster site sucks too and will load a random amount of movies each time I unlink and relink my UV account.


                                When available I went HD. There are a few SDs but before I paid for it I checked CinemaNow and VUDU for HD streams of it then went ahead and got SD for some dvds.

                                I own less than 50 blurays that didn't come with UV digital copies and over half of them aren't available to be D2D. About 300 of my movies came from UV codes, the others were DVD to HD conversions. I went from 300 - almost 1400 in less than a month.
