So Many Options When Downloading Movies

By George Benson

It seems only a few years ago that I began noticing people showing up with CDs with movie titles on them. I was amazed that we could now get free movies anytime we wanted. To my friends and me, it could not have been any better than that.

One type of site that has become very popular is sites that actually do not have any movies on them. There are plenty of websites that just has the links to the actual movie. These sites have become a big internet fad for both the movie watchers and people that design web pages.

The online movie feature is great because it allows you to watch quality films instantly. The ?Watch Instantly? section literally takes seconds to access a movie. You also get unlimited access to this feature.

So, if you are looking for one to put some movies on, what are some of the products that you can buy? How much can you plan on spending? How hard is it to put movies that you downloaded on your Ipod?

On Netflicks, movies are updated daily. While most of the movies are not the newest, there is a good mixture of classics, modern, independent and oldies. You never know what films are going to pop up on site.

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.

For the movie viewer, it is easy to find what you are looking for. These sites are usually broken down by categories. The homepage to the site is usually full of the most recent movies on the internet.

Another neat feature allows you to pick up where you left off. If you leave during a movie on any other site, you will later have to find your spot. On Netflicks ?Watch Instantly? it bookmarks the exact second you stop watching and allows you to start there.

The computer is not the only way in which you access the ?Watch Instantly? section of Netflicks. For about $100 you can buy the Roku box. This small box hooks directly to your television and gives you access to your library of watch instant films.

Netflicks has also teamed with Xbox live to reach gamers. If you have this console then you too can watch instant movies on your television. Alls you have to do is go onto the Netflicks website, add a movie to you library and it instantly pops-up pm your console.

It is weird to think that we can now carry our downloaded movies around in our pockets. It is weird to think that we can stop a movie clip from the internet to answer the phone with the same product. Once again I say that it cannot get any better than this. - 16755
