Search For A Good Movie Download Site To Join

By Clyde Casey

Did you know that there's a new and popular way of getting movies these days? It's through purchasing movie downloads. And it's definitely more convenient that going to the cinema, renting or buying a DVD. If you wish to try this, you need to subscribe to a website offering such. However, you might want to read the following first.

One website may have a different mode of payment from another. Although it's not unlikely that a particular site will offer several modes of payment. When picking the kind of payment, consider the frequency of your movie watching. Can you afford to watch a movie daily? Or perhaps once or two movies weekly?

Some sites will require you to pay a fixed rate, either per month or per year. However, there are those where you pay only for each title that you buy and download. Before getting a subscription, weigh the pros and cons. Will it be cheaper than actually renting a movie or buying a DVD? Will you be able to take full advantage of the payment you will make?

The number of titles which you can purchase from a site will depend on how many film outfits they work with. Some may have very few mainstream titles, but more independent flicks. But if the website works with many major outfits at the same time, you can be assured of the variety of films to choose from.

You should also consider the quality of the movie you are getting. This is to ensure you don't end up with an eye strain or headache by the end of the film. Take a look at the resolution size, which is often expressed in pixels. An example would be something that says like: 640 x 480 or 1280 x 1024 pixels screen resolution.

Then there's also the bitrate which you should also note. Usually, it's expressed in bps - that stands for bits per second. But sometimes it's in kbps - kilobits per second. If everything is beginning to look too technical now, fret not. Just remember: for both screen resolutions and bitrates, the higher their numbers, the better quality they are. It's that simple.

Check how many current members a webpage has. For sure it will tell something about the quality of services offered by the site. Of course movie buffs will flock to websites that will satisfy their needs, more than just joining in based on popularity. Besides, it's what makes these sites popular in the first place: good service.

There are many sites out there whose downloadable items contain viruses, malwares and the likes. However, for most legal sites, you can be sure that what you will be downloading is free of such. So your computer's hard drive is safe from harm. Also, it's not just the security of your downloads that you should be after. You should see to it that the payment mode is secure too.

Last but not the least, check the flexibility given by the website regarding your movie downloads. Will you be able to transfer and watch your purchase on another gadget? Will you be allowed to burn them on a DVD so you can free some space on your hard drive? Some websites will give you leeway, while others may not. - 40729
