For starters what you want to download is always a Divx Movie. Divx files are the newest type of files. What they do is they
compress the audio and video and turn a normaly huge file into a new file that
is about one third the size. When you
download a divx movie, it has a great DVD quality to it. It's not exactly like a
DVD but it can be good enough to stay at home downloading your movie.
When you download your movies, it's pretty easy
to burn them onto a DVD and watch them as many times as you like. But what I
like to recommend, and do myself, is that I actually download movies as samples.
If I download the movie, and enjoy it, then I will go ahead and buy it as a DVD.
Downloading DVD quality movies on the internet
can take from 2 to 8 hours depending your conection, so I always recommend to
download them from a high speed internet access computer. You also want to make
sure you have over 500 MB's of free disk space at minimum, and if you have over
1GB that's optimal.
There are various software programs that give
you access to download movies online. Some of them are good, because they have
high speed downloads. There are places where downloading movies is based on a
P2P system (peer to peer), which means that you are downloading the movie from
another user. These can be great because you can get the best movies faster,
although sometimes you have to be careful that the titles are confusing, meaning
that you download one title thinking it was another one.
The advantage when downloading movies from
these programs is that you are getting them for free. You pay for a one time fee
and then you just fire up the software and you can immediately start downloading
movies. These are great, but just be warned that you might find the occasional
user that confuses the title's and you download Ace Ventura thinking you were
going to get Scarface.
All in all downloading movies can be great,
just make sure you support the movie industry and you buy the DVD's you like,
and always go to the movies to watch them. |
