Movie Download Websites Rock!

[Lucy Keith]

The entertainment options available to you today, right from the
comfort of your own home, are at a massive all time high. Whether your
interests are in music, video games or movies you can access an
unimaginable choice of material using your broadband internet
connection. The latest growth phenomenon in this area is the 'movie
download websites' which is as the name suggests, allows online access
to a wide range of current movies (and TV shows) which you can
download, burn and watch on your home cinema system.
At last there is a real alternative to DVD rental or purchase.
So how does it work?
Simple, you become a member of a movie download website of your choice
(our recommendation based on value money and choice is in the
signature footer of this article) and you sign up for the package that
meets your preferences. When you next want to catch up on the latest
movie or a TV show you've missed, you use your super fast broadband
connection to pull the movie to the hard drive of your computer (make
sure you have enough free space available). Now you can either view
the movie on your computer or burn it onto CD. Most movie download
websites provide movies in the DivX format. This format retains the
quality of image while keeping file sizes to the manageable minimum.
Here's a quick checklist you should go through before you sign up to
any movie download websites:
-What format are the movies in? Is the format compatible with your DVD
player? If I were you I would only sign up if the movies are in DivX
format, otherwise you are going to spend a long time downloading the
files through your broadband connection.
-Does the site allow you to burn the movie onto CD (not DVD they're
much more expensive than CDs and you need a DVD burner rather than the
standard CD burner that most computers have).
-Does your site guarantee picture quality...the last thing you want is
to be watching your movie through a thick snow storm where you can
hardly make out the images.
-Are the movies provided legally with the full knowledge and approval
of the studios?
-Finally remember "there's no such thing as a free lunch" if the offer
on your movie download website looks too good to be true...it probably
is.
Take advantage of this growing opportunity to sample movies you would
probably never rent or buy, in the comfort of your own home at minimal
costs. Don't rent another movie until you've checked out your movie
download options.
Happy viewing!
