Ok I bought Pacific Rim UHD on Vudu. Will wait for it to sync to iTunes to see if I get 4K or not.
Please update when you can, Im too invested in this

Hmm. Pacific Rim synced right away to Google. Still nothing in iTunes though. Wonder if Im screwed. Will continue to wait.
My old Dark Knight SD digital copy I redeemed in iTunes years ago stayed SD on the original iTunes account, but turned HD everywhere else. So iTunes wont upgrade old redeemed movies that are already there?
And if I were to redeem an SD code I have lying around in iTunes now thats MA is a thing... will iTunes make it SD still while the rest of the MA and retailers tied to it will get HD? That would be stupid no?
In theory should all old SD codes from DVDs now redeem as HD on iTunes or whats the best practice here?
Yeah Im seeing multiple people reporting UHD purchases in Vudu playing back as 4K HDR in iTunes. Good news. I will confirm as soon as PR syncs to my iTunes account.This is from another forum on the iTunes 4K thing. Seems like if you have VUDU UHD it will port to iTunes 4K.

Not to dick measure, but I'm at over a thousand now. With UV codes basically being dirt cheap, Vudu running amazing sales almost every week, T-Mobile Tuesday giving away free $5 Vudu codes, and frequent use of Vudu's disc-to-digital program, it was quite easy to amass a lot of movies over time.
Do HD codes turn into 4K if theres a 4K version on iTunes now? Like entering a code from a Blu Ray makes it 4K on iTunes or it stays like the code?It doesnt seem consistent. For example I had a lot of SD VUDU movies come over to iTunes and Amazon in HD, but I had an HD Amazon movie get redeemed elsewhere in SD. And one SD movie from VUDU went everywhere else in SD. In theory whatever quality you have should stay intact in the other stores, but that doesnt seem to be the case always, or even most of the time. The service where it started wont upgrade, but it may upgrade when moved to a different service for unknown reasons. So if you redeem an SD code on iTunes it will stay SD there while other services get HD, maybe. Thats not a guarantee and that behavior may be fixed down the road.
As for everyone not being able to disconnect iTunes, there is a solution. If you scour through your internet history to the very first time you clicked on the connect link and it popped you over to iTunes, clicking on that link again WILL work. Itll be an iTunes redirect link with a unique code on the end of it. I just did it, and movies are now flowing to iTunes where they werent before and the big fat Disconnect button is back on my iTunes account

And I guess this means I should redeem SD codes on the old iTunes account and share them over to the current iTunes account I use or else theyll redeem as SD even in 2017 and be stuck that way on iTunes?
Im always amazed by people with collections that big. Dont think Ive even seen that many movies.

I just redeemed what Im pretty sure was a regular Blu-Ray code for Ghost In The Shell directly in iTunes and it is now 4K in iTunes. Take that for what you will...Both of those answers I dont know, sorry.

I dont have one to test on. But this code was redeemed in iTunes and not in MA. Wish I could test, sorry lolDo you have an Apple TV 4K to play them in? The movies from MA say 4K but never actually get to that resolution, they play in HD with HDR, I wonder if blu-ray redeems do the same

So does Movies Anywhere pull from my ultraviolet movies? All my ultraviolet movies are in there now..

All of them? Paramount and Lionsgate and (maybe) MGM are not part of the initial studios participating. Only about 3/4 of my movies were pulled.
MGM never participated in UV either, did they? (I could be wrong.)All of them? Paramount and Lionsgate and (maybe) MGM are not part of the initial studios participating. Only about 3/4 of my movies were pulled.

How long will present tense last though? From talking to MA support the other day physical releases in the near future from the participating studios will no longer come with UV or DMA redemption codes, but will switch to MA codes.Nah, they did. Do. Present tense.

How long can UV remain alive with only Paramount, MGM, and Lionsgate going forward? Not long I imagine.
Yes. Redeem all HD copies directly on iTunes to get the free 4K upgrade. If you redeem them on another service though, and they come to iTunes through MA, you wont get the 4K version even though it says it on the page. When you play it it will say HD HDR.I just redeemed what Im pretty sure was a regular Blu-Ray code for Ghost In The Shell directly in iTunes and it is now 4K in iTunes. Take that for what you will...
It's hilarious to me that Superman: The Movie doesn't show up but the rest of them do.
For some reason my itune account says its linked to my MA (on MA page) but hasnt done anything in over a day and yet doesnt allow me to cancel it in my account info(desync it) so i'm wondering whom i should contact, since nothing is showing up from/ or on my itunes.

Yup, same as DMA did beforehand.Once I got passed registration using VPN, the service works outside of the US.
FWIW, I got Wreck-It Ralph that way and it never appeared as a $0 purchase on Google Play, the only reference was the email confirmation on it being added to DMA. And it does seem like that Wreck-It Ralph is a special case, as last year when I had to renew the connection from DMA to Google Play what you describe did happen to me though, and it sorted itself out reappearing on DMA and everything else after a day or 2. I say it's a special case as Monsters Inc, the other DMA movie I got in a similar manner, had nothing happen to it at all, it never vanished or anything.I'm annoyed now because I just really that all my movies actually aren't at one place. It seems that Wreck it Ralph was removed from all of my libraries... So I'm gonna to have to contact them about this? Kill Bill, Interstellar, Star Trek, and Django are on all on VUDU, but not Google Play (I think this makes sense since not all the studios are on board, but why didn't Interstellar transfer?).
I'm most annoyed about actually having a film removed.
Edit: The film doesn't even show up in my DMA account or as a $0.00 purchase in my Google Play account. Can't find any email confirmation too. The way it worked was that if you link your DMA and Google Play account, you got Wreck it Ralph for free. I guess it was never truly "free". Fuck that.
The 180 day limit is for connecting to *different* accounts, can unlink and relink the same accounts as frequent as you wish (for example I had to do it with my Vudu account to have the UV movies show up)Nope, ends with authorizations for me. Can't unlink it from MA because it says 180 days or something before you can relink it. So I guess my only choice is to wait?
Still can't migrate my DMA either..
Nice.Commence "dick waving"
Not really, since you can use it outside the US, you'd need jump through a few hoops as for it to work you require a VPN/DNS and a US bank issued credit card.Does this solve regional problems? Can I move around the world and will my movie collection still be available?
edit: U.S residents only.

Needs to be a new account but you should use the same email as you used for DMA because there will be an easy button to merge your DMA movies into your new MA accountSo do I have to make a new account for this or will my Disney Movies Anywhere account work?
Viacom Inc.s Paramount Pictures is the only one of the six major studios that isnt joining Movies Anywhere, because of a disagreement over financial terms, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private.
Does that mean Disney is paying these studios to use this service? I can understand paying them for an OTT service, but not for this. How are they making money out of this? Licensing fee to use the technology?
Wait doesn't that Vudu Disc to Digital get wildly abused? Like you could ”buy" 50 Blu rays and take them home, use the Mobile scan Disc to Digital option in the app, and return them?

There's the fact that in addition to everything else, I believe Movies Everywhere is still a retailer, so there's a negotiated cut that has to happen there. But I think the actual issue is that more than likely, there's some fee Disney has to pay, either for each movie that goes through the service (kind of unlikely), or an upfront fee for the studio to add their movies to the service (more likely), and that's what Paramount isn't liking.
