Movie Downloading Has Many Options

By George Benson

If you go to Blockbuster and rent a movie it can cost a minimum of $5.30. If you rent at least four movies a week the total comes to around $20 a month. That only covers four movies that will you have to return on time within a week.

As downloadable movies became more and more popular so did the technology to access them. As a young adult, I had thought we had reached the height of technology when I saw that CD. I was so mistaken and it would only be a few years later that I would feel like that again.

Recently, Apple has been out doing itself with the various Ipods that have been releasing. They have the Ipod classic, nano, touch and I am sure many more. Ipod products play music, sound bytes and yes! They can even play downloadable movies.

Under the ?Watch Instantly? section, all the movies are broken into general and specific genres. When you go to comedies there are many option such; teen comedies, late night comedies, romantic comedies, African American comedies and many more. No matter what kind of mood you are in, you can find a movie for you under their genre categories.

The most recent release is the Ipod Touch. There are endless amount of option with this but for movies, this is the product to have. All your movies can be watched in color and wide screen.

By having only the link, your webpage can be relatively small therefore it keeps site maintenance relatively easy. It also frees the designer from any legal problem because they do not possess the actual movie. They only have the html addresses to the movies.

When you select your movie online that you want to watch then, Netflicks goes the extra mile and offers a selection that is similar to the movie you are about to watch. They also compile a list of all the movies you watched, how much of the movie you watched and the date you watched it.

If you are going to put movies on your there you should have at least 8 gigabytes of memory. As stated above it is fairly easy to put movies on the Ipod touch. In fact, I found it to be a lot easier to put my downloaded movies on there then it was to burn them.

Another problem is that some of the movies are poor quality. If you are going to use a site like this, make sure it is one with viewer feedback. A lot of movies will be broken up into separate links and part one and two work but part three does not.

Sites like this are also full of annoying advertisements and pop-ups. The best thing to do is to turn your pop-up blocker on until you find the movie you want. Then turn it off because a new window needs to open when you click on the link.

These sites are great when you are looking for a quick movie and do not have the money to go rent. They are a dime a dozen and they go away as fast as they appeared. So do not be surprise when you go back to it and see a furniture advertisement instead. - 16039
