How Disc to Digital works

Fandango at Home lets you convert a disc you already own into a digital copy by scanning the barcode on its packaging. It currently lists Disc to Digital conversion options including DVD to SD, DVD to HDX, and Blu-ray to HDX. Which of these you can use depends on the disc you own.

At the time of writing, Fandango at Home lists these conversions at currently $2 for Blu-ray to HDX, currently $2 for DVD to SD, and currently $5 for DVD to HDX, before any applicable taxes. Those amounts are shown here for orientation only — they were noted from Fandango at Home's own published Disc to Digital information and are not maintained by us in real time.

Pricing, taxes, eligibility, and available conversion quality are controlled by Fandango and may change at any time. DVDUPC does not set, control, or guarantee any of them, and does not process conversions. Check Fandango at Home for the current terms before you buy a disc on the strength of a conversion price.

Eligibility is decided by Fandango at Home, not by us. Knowing in advance whether a specific barcode is listed as eligible is the reason this catalog exists — but a listing here is not a promise that a given barcode will redeem.

Where the data comes from

Catalog records, artwork, disc editions and conversion eligibility are imported from Fandango at Home's own catalog. That import runs nightly, and every title page shows the date its record was last checked. Additional title metadata — synopsis, cast and crew, genres, release dates — comes from TMDB.

The barcodes shown on a title page are the ones attached to that title's catalog entries. We do not invent, guess, or derive barcodes: if a code appears here, it came from a catalog record for a real disc edition. Where a barcode is not currently accepted for conversion, the page says so and still lists it, so you can check it against the disc in your hand.

Why availability changes

A title that converts today may not next month, and vice versa. Studio licensing changes, editions are added and withdrawn, and Fandango updates which barcodes it accepts on its own schedule. Nothing about that is under our control and none of it is announced in advance — we see it when the nightly import sees it.

Rather than delete a title when it stops converting, we keep its page and mark it unavailable. Every change is written to that title's public history, so you can see when a barcode was added, when it became redeemable, and when that changed.

How community verification works

Whether Fandango lists a barcode as eligible and whether it actually scans at the till are not always the same thing. Signed-in members vote on individual barcodes: up if it worked, down if it did not. Each barcode shows its own tally, and the title page summarises how many are confirmed working, how many have been reported as failing, and how many nobody has tried yet.

Those counts are the community's reports, not a guarantee from us or from Fandango. A barcode with no votes is not a bad barcode — it means nobody has told us either way. Barcodes are ranked by net score, so a contested code with ten reports sits above an untested one, and the list is honest about which is which.

Reporting a barcode that didn't work

Vote it down on the title page. That is the correction mechanism: create an account or sign in, find the barcode in the list, and mark it as failed. The next person to land on that page sees your report.

Every vote is recorded in the title's public history and in the site-wide catalog history, so corrections are visible rather than silently applied. If a title's underlying catalog data looks wrong — a mismatched edition, a barcode on the wrong film — that comes from the upstream catalog and will correct itself on a future import once the source does.

Who we are not

DVDUPC is an independent site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Fandango, Vudu, Amazon, or any studio referenced here. We cannot process conversions, access your Fandango account, resolve a failed redemption, or influence what Fandango accepts — for any of that you need Fandango at Home's own support.

Links to Amazon are affiliate links: as an Amazon Associate, DVDUPC earns from qualifying purchases. Buying a disc through them is entirely optional and is not part of converting one you already own. We do not display Amazon prices, because we do not have live pricing and a stale price is worse than none.
