There are lots of options in downloading and/or watching movies online. Initially, like music downloading, downloading movies online usually meant doing something illegal. These days, there are plenty of places to download or watch movies online. The illegal choices are still available, Mit official website bear in mind, though the legal movie sites are picking up steam. This article will focus on the legal websites to watch and/or download movies.
There are tons of options out there. Each site offers their own pricing model, selection, movie formats, and user experience.
You can find 2 main pricing models that the online movie download sites use – monthly subscriptions and per download pricing.
Sites that provide monthly subscriptions give unlimited downloads, for a flat monthly cost. CinemaNow, Netflix, and Vongo operate under this model.
The other major pricing model, per download pricing, is precisely what it sounds like. There will be a fee for each movie download. Amazon Unbox and iTunes operate this way.
Unless you aren’t planning on watching very many movies in a month, the flat monthly fee is the way to go. There are also some movies that can be readily available for free from each of the services and various free trials are available to try them out.
The selection varies from service to service. New releases are hit or miss. Movies appear to be available on DVD as well as for rental ahead of being accessible for download. CinemaNow appears to get the films more quickly than the others. iTunes selection will be the most limited of the main services.
The predominant file format for the download services is Windows Media Video files (.WMV). iTunes is the obvious exception, which offers files as MPEG-4s.
Each service requires you to download their software as a way to download and watch movies. Each interface will be different, but its really a matter of personal preference. Vongo and CinemaNow each have good interfaces.
