Transfer ultraviolet digital copy dvd to iTunes, not Flixster?

Got Horrible Bosses on Blu-Ray and instead of a digital copy that downloads automatically to iTunes, they have this new "ultraviolet" digital copy that only downloads to some stupid thing called Flixster Collections, which basically tries to be like iTunes for movies, but is way ******** and less convenient.

ANYWAY, the point is, I want to watch it on iTunes. Is there a way to do it? --- I'm pretty worried the answer is no, since I googled it and came back with nothing, but I thought I'd ask ----

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I'm glad I'm not in this alone. This whole multi-layer approach is far from conveinient. Regarding Cowboys and Aliens: why did they provide us the Digital DVD in the package? I mean, you're still dloading anyway. Just wait until it's out on Netflix. They are providing us the anticedent to behavior. It's as if Universal wants us to illegally rip the DVD. It might be easier than jumping through all the hoops. Why spend time and money on buying the DVD? let them drop the price $5.00. This is my first time and my last. It's just a movie.

Greedy Corporations.

Piracy seem to be more and more better way to avoid these.

Why studios can't just let consumer decide.

I don't buy WarnerBros movies anymore because of UV. Same as Lord of the rings and Hobbits. Luckily iTunes had a sales for 6 extended together on sale a while back and I bought it.

I am at the worst of the worse end. I buy 3D combo pack and most of the studios like to release them separately now.

I have same issue with HP 7 Part 2. UV Flipster seems totally bad. I found under the heading My Account in Flipster that there are 3 ways to download the movie. One is iTunes, another is Quicktime, and I do not remember the other, probably Windows. I downloaded in Quicktime as I think that is the default setting, but the Flipster software never asked what type of file to download. It may work when the setting is changed to iTunes. Has anyone tried this? Can I redownload a 3rd copy in iTunes?

I got a code from them.


I submitted a ticket through: http://support.ultraviolet.flixster.com/ics/support/ticketNew.asp


  • Filled in Name/Email
  • Put in a Summary (something to hte effect of the movies not working on iOS devices and needingthem in iTunes)
  • Put in the Comment/Question that I need the movies in iTunes and that is why I buy didgital copies so that I can watch them on my iOS devices, otherwise I wouldn't buy them... etc...

    You may also want to save yourself some back and forth in emails and give them your origional redemption code that came in the DVD/BR sleeve.

  • Filled in Issue Type as "Playback"
  • Device as iPhone/iPad (don't remember which I put)
  • Title as "Harry Potter 7 - Part 2"
  • Rate your Flixster UV Experience: I put "Poor"
  • Clicked the Finish Button.


With a couple emails back and forth for the redemption code, etc. (they were polite and understanding I must say) they sent me an iTunes redemption code that has downloaded the following files:


  1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 / David Yates [1.77 GB]
  2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 - iTunes Extras / David Yates [About 0.55 GB]



All in all it was about 30 minutes from the time I submitted the ticket, to when I was starting to downloading the movie in iTunes.


It's dumb that you have to go through this, but at least Flixster was pleasent about it I suppose.
